Freud 11-184 9/16" diameter single flute straight bit is built for high-volume routing with unmatched chip clearance, allowing you to push feed rates without clogging the cut. This bit is your go-to for fast, reliable material removal on CNC, handheld, and table-mounted routers.

• Aggressive, efficient cutting geometry — single flute design provides maximum chip clearance, enabling fast feed rates and quicker material removal in a single pass where appropriate.
• Versatile material compatibility — optimized for hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and engineered composites, making it a practical choice for shop-wide tasks from rough cuts to joinery work.
• Precise, durable construction — part of Freud/Diablo’s trusted line, engineered for long-lasting performance in demanding production environments and repeated use on demanding projects.
• Broad machine applicability — suitable for CNC routers, handheld routers, and table-mounted routers, giving you flexibility across fabrication workflows and setups.
• Dado and slot capabilities — ideal for straight dados, grooves, rabbets, and edge-slotting in plywood and solid wood, helping you streamline assembly and reduce secondary operations.

Materials and use cases

• Hardwood and softwood: remove material quickly for carcasses, frames, and furniture components.
• Plywood and engineered boards: clean dado cuts and slotting with reduced tear-out thanks to efficient chip evacuation.
• Composites: handle laminated panels and MDF with less loading and smoother entry into the cut.

Practical tips for best results

• Pair the bit with a sharp stable feed and appropriate spindle speed to maximize chip clearance and minimize heat build-up.
• Use shallower passes when working with dense materials or multiple passes for deeper dados to maintain cut quality and tool life.
• Support workpieces adequately to prevent deflection and ensure clean, accurate cuts across the full diameter.

Whether you’re outfitting a professional shop or tackling a weekend project, the Freud 11-184 9/16" single flute straight bit delivers fast, dependable performance across a range of materials and router platforms. It’s a specialized tool for builders who value throughput without compromising precision and finish.
