Freud 11-158 3/8" (Dia.) Single Flute Straight Bit
MPN: 11-158
Minimum order quantity is .
Introducing the Freud 11-158 3/8" diameter single flute straight bit—a rugged, high-production solution for fast, clean straight cuts across a range of materials. Built for reliability in busy shop environments, it excels when you need rapid material removal without compromising edge quality.
Designed for maximum chip clearance and fast feed rates, this bit keeps chips moving away from the cut, reducing heat buildup and allowing longer, uninterrupted runs. The result is quicker turnaround on projects and less downtime between passes, whether you’re working on a CNC, hand-held, or table-mounted router.
Key advantages that set this bit apart
- 3/8" diameter provides a versatile width for dadoes, grooves, edge routing, and straight cuts across cabinetry, furniture, and panel work.
- Single flute geometry delivers superior chip clearance, minimizing clogging and enabling higher feed rates for faster production throughput.
- Edge-to-edge performance suitable for hardwood, softwood, plywood, and composites, making it a reliable all-purpose straight bit in mixed-material workflows.
- Cross-platform versatility compatible with CNC machines, handheld routers, and table-mounted routers, giving you flexible tooling for different setups.
- Durable, precision-cut edge designed to deliver clean, accurate cuts with minimal tear-out, helping you achieve repeatable results on sheet goods and panels.
Ideal use cases
- Creating precise dadoes, grooves, or shoulder cuts in cabinetry and furniture components.
- Roughing and finishing passes on panels where faster material removal is beneficial.
- Edge trimming and straight-line routing on tables or CNC setups for consistent results across long runs.
Practical tips for best results
- Start with a conservative depth of cut and steady feed rate to establish a clean, accurate groove before increasing depth.
- Secure the workpiece firmly and support long stock to minimize vibration and deflection during cutting.
- Match cutting parameters to the material—hardwoods may benefit from a slightly slower feed with careful ramping to prevent tear-out.
- Frequently check bit sharpness and replace when signs of dulling appear to maintain edge quality and production speed.
Whether you’re outfitting a CNC rig for rapid production runs or adding a reliable, go-to straight bit for hand-held and table-mounted routers, the Freud 11-158 3/8" single flute straight bit is built to deliver consistent, high-throughput performance with precise, clean results.
