- Carbide-tipped construction delivers long-lasting edge retention and consistent results through many passes.
- Precise hook and shear angles promote aggressive cutting with a clean finish, minimizing tear-out on a variety of materials.
- Relieved tips facilitate efficient plunge cuts, especially when entering workpieces without pre-drilling.
- Versatile across CNC, hand-held, and table-mounted routers, making it a reliable workhorse in any shop.
Ideal use cases
Use the Freud 08-106 for:
- Grooving and dado work for cabinetry, shelving, and paneling.
- Edge-routing to create clean profiles, chamfers, or decorative edges.
- Joinery routing where precise, repeatable cuts are essential.
- Working with hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and composite materials to deliver crisp, smooth edges.
Practical tips for best results
- Match feed rate and RPM to the material: start light, then increase depth gradually to maintain control.
- Secure the workpiece firmly to minimize vibration and achieve consistent cuts.
- Inspect the bit regularly for wear; carbide tips hold their edge well when used within recommended cutting parameters.
