Freud Router Bits are known for their exceptional quality, unmatched precision and maximum cutting life. The bits are carefully crafted using the best materials, the industry's most sophisticated manufacturing processes, and include exclusive Freud features such as TiCo Hi-Density Carbide and red Perma-SHIELD non-stick coating. Freud's bits also contain revolutionary, innovative designs such as Quadra-Cut and Double-Grind.

TiCo Hi-Density carbide is a specially formulated, highly compact Titanium Cobalt Carbide engineered and manufactured by Freud to maximize performance on all Freud cutting tools. Designed in Freud research and development laboratories, Freud's TiCo Hi-Density carbide is scientifically developed using Titanium Carbide, Cobalt and Tungsten (as well as proprietary elements), to produce a supreme product. Carbide size is extremely important when it comes to sharpness as well as the rate at which an edge wears. The larger the carbide grain, the faster an edge will wear. While standard carbides measure as large as 5 microns, and an advanced micrograin carbide can measure 1 micron, Freud's TiCo Hi-Density Carbide is miniscule in comparison at 0.8 microns, with a laminate blend as small as 0.4 microns.

    5.0 out of 5 stars wow, what a bit!
    Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2010
    Size: One SizeStyle: 1/2-Inch Diameter by 2-1/2-Inch Double Flute Straight Router BitVerified Purchase
    The first thing that impresses you about this bit, is the size. It is really large. The cutters are huge and as such, require more care than usual, especially if you are using it in a hand held router.

    I've been using the bit in a 2 1/4 HP router, with a D handle installed. I jointed and squared 2 large boards 8ft x 12" x 3", hand held. I butted the router base against long straight edges and took cuts of about 1/16" to 1/8". The bit performed flawlessly, giving me very smooth edges on the boards, which were laminated 3/4" cabinet grade plywood (3) with a 3/4" layer of solid red oak. Of course, the 2 1/2" cutting length wasn't long enough to do the whole board. After making about a 2 1/4" cut with this bit, I turned the boards over and used a 1/2" trim bit, bearing on the bottom, to finish off the cuts. The job turned out great, only requiring light passes with a smoothing plane to finish off the job. I'm very pleased with the speed and ease that this bit jointed and squared these large pieces. Nothing else in my shop worked as well or as quickly.

    Now to the bad part. I got a little careless on the second board, while cutting one of the 8ft sides. I didn't keep the router dead flat on the surface and dipped into the cut. In a split second, that long cutter took a big bite out of the side and then climbed up and out of the cut, twisting me to the left. Fortunately, the D handle base is a very secure base, that allows you to have a very good hold on the router, so nothing happened other than scaring me half to death. But, if someone had been standing close to me on the left, the router would have been in their face in an instant. I've been using routers for over 30 years and never had a router do that to me before. Of course, I usually use a router table when possible, which is the sensible thing to do with such large bits.

    I've got other projects planned, where I'll be using this bit and router configuration again as a hand held jointer. But, the next time, I'll make and install a much larger router base plate that will keep the router flat on the work surface. That should make things idiot proof....

    5.0 out of 5 stars Freud Bits Cut Fast And Effortlessly, Stays Sharp Longer And Are Guaranteed For Life. Package Removal Tip Included In Review.
    Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2017
    Size: One SizeStyle: 13/16-Inch Diameter by 1-1/4-Inch Double Flute Straight Router BitVerified Purchase
    Freud bits are designed and precision machined in Italy - and they really are works of art. They plunge quickly, clear chips effortlessly and run through hardwood with ease. I'm sure there are other fine bits out there, but for the value and at this price, I believe it's no contest. If you're cutting dados, planing or jointing, you will be thrilled with these bits.

    Pros:
    • Sharp and removes chips fast
    • Designed for quick plunges
    • Delivers crisp clean edges
    • Hardened steel stays sharp longer than competition
    • 1/2" shanks nearly eliminate chatter

    Cons:
    • Expensive - but worth every penny
    • They are nearly impossible to remove from the packaging

    Tips To Remove From Packaging:
    • Wear Gloves! I mean it - these are as sharp as an ER scalpel.
    • Firmly grasp the flat (non-sharp) sides and "wiggle" the bit back and forth while pulling upward
    • Do not use pliers, channel locks or your vise. You will scratch the heck out of your beautiful bit
    • When storing in the packaging, only insert about 1/4" to make it simple to remove in the future!

    Usage Tip:
    • To avoid 'burning' the wood when using the larger diameter bits, keep your router speed in the medium range or about 16,000rpm

    4.0 out of 5 stars Let me just say I love freud cutting tools
    Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2015
    Size: One SizeStyle: 1-3/4-Inch Diameter by 3/4-Inch Double Flute Straight Router BitVerified Purchase
    Let me just say I love freud cutting tools. I rate things in consideration to the price range they are in along with what it is supposed to do and how it actually performs. Usually everything I purchase that is made by freud gets the highest rating in my book, because the performance quality at the price range their products are in are always on par if not better. I have a large selection of freud saw blades, forstner bits, and router bits and they all perform to the highest standard of the price range they are in.

    Now with this 1-3/4 straight bit. My experience has been a little different which is why I gave it 4 stars only. The bit is a beast and for the most part it performs great, but I purchased this bit to plane wood down flat and level. Seeing as I do not have a jointer or a plane. I will say it that this is the first time for me to plan wood in this manner, but this bit leaves uneven lines in the surface of the wood that I am planing. Which is why I gave it 4 stars. The lines are easy to sand out with some heavy grit sandpaper or a smoothing plane, but this is a straight bit that is supposed to perform as a bottom smoothing bit. So it should not leave lines in the wood surface. I am thinking that maybe I could have received a slightly defective bit. So I ordered one of the Amana 1-3/4 straight bits. I am going to give that a go and see if it does the same thing. Even with the lines .I would still recommend this bit, because the lines can be sanded out afterwards and freud bits usually last a long time. Plus this particular bit is large enough to eat away a lot of material in one pass and it is sharp as hell.

    This review is not inspired by the router bit itself. Rather, it is a comment on the time that elapsed between ordering it and receiving it (11 days). I needed the bit to complete a job ASAP. But it took so long to ship that I finally gave up waiting. I went ahead and did the job with a smaller bit that required twice as many passes. The bit is still in its original container. I have not opened it because I no longer need it for the aforementioned job. Maybe someday I will need it again and then I can give it a try. It looks like a very good bit--it is a Freud, after all, so I'm confident that it is a winner. Shipping? Not so great.
