Meet the Freud 08-152 3/4" Double Flute Straight Bit with a 3/8" shank—crafted for precision, longevity, and versatile performance across a wide range of routing tasks. This bit is built to handle grooving, edge routing, and other general routing with confidence, whether you’re in a pro shop or a home workshop.

Designed with a fast-cutting hook and shear-angle geometry, this double-flute bit delivers quick material removal and a smooth, tear-free finish across hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and composite materials. The tips are relieved to facilitate efficient plunge cuts, helping you start cuts cleanly and reduce wear during deeper traverses. Whether you’re using a CNC machine, a hand-held router, or a table-mounted router, this bit stays steady and predictable at the shop’s standard speeds.

• Diameter and shank: 3/4" diameter with a 3/8" shank for broad compatibility with many routers and CNC setups.
• Cutting geometry: Double flute with precision hook and shear angles for aggressive cutting and a superior finish.
• Material versatility: Excels in hardwood, softwood, plywood, and composite substrates.
• Tip relief: Relieved tips enable efficient plunge cuts and reduce bogging during starting and depth changes.
• Router compatibility: Optimized for CNC, hand-held, and table-mounted routers—delivering consistent performance across platforms.

This bit is an ideal choice for cabinetry and furniture projects where clean grooves and crisp edge routing matter. Use it to create precise grooves for panels, establish consistent edge details, or perform reliable straight cuts that maintain dimensional accuracy across multiple pieces. The carbide-tipped construction (as part of Freud’s high-performance family) delivers long tool life, reducing the need for frequent replacements and keeping your workflow efficient.

Why choose the Freud 08-152 over other straight bits? It combines a substantial 3/4" cutting diameter with a robust 3/8" shank, delivering substantial material removal without sacrificing edge quality. The optimized cutting angles and reliefs are designed to minimize tear-out and vibration, producing smoother surfaces and more repeatable results—especially important for joined edges and precision grooves in cabinetry and furniture projects.
