Experience Heavy-Duty Material Removal and Mirror-Smooth Finishes with the Freud 7/8 Inch Straight Router Bit

Tackle your most demanding routing tasks with confidence using the Freud 12-168 7/8 Inch Double Flute Straight Bit. Featuring a robust 1/2-inch shank and a wide 7/8-inch cutting diameter, this heavy-duty bit is engineered for rapid stock removal and substantial grooving applications where stability is key. It is constructed from Freud's exclusive TiCo Hi-Density Carbide, a specially formulated blend that offers superior hardness and heat resistance. This premium composition ensures the bit maintains a razor-sharp edge up to four times longer than standard carbide cutters, even when working with abrasive materials like plywood and composites.

The 12-168 is designed with precision computer-balanced geometry to minimize vibration and ensure chatter-free performance. Its optimized hook and shear angles slice cleanly through hardwood and softwood fibers, producing a surface finish that often requires no sanding. The bit also features a specialized end grind that relieves the tips, allowing for efficient plunging capabilities. This makes it ideal for creating deep mortises, stopped dadoes, and pocket cuts. Whether you are using a powerful CNC machine, a table-mounted router, or a heavy-duty hand-held router, this tool delivers the professional precision you expect from Freud.

Key Features

  • TiCo Hi-Density Carbide: Proprietary blend maximizes hardness and edge retention for extended tool life in tough materials.
  • Heavy-Duty Design: 1/2-inch shank and 7/8-inch diameter provide the stability needed for heavy stock removal.
  • Double Flute Geometry: Two precision-ground edges ensure fast chip evacuation and a smooth, clean finish.
  • Plunge Cutting Ready: Relieved tips allow for vertical drilling and starting grooves in the center of the workpiece.
  • Deep Cutting Capacity: 1-1/4 inch carbide height allows for deep dadoing and mortising.
  • Precision Shear Angles: Optimized geometry reduces cutting resistance and prevents burning.
  • Versatile Compatibility: Engineered for use in CNC, hand-held, and table-mounted routers.

What's Included:

  • (1) 7/8 In. Double Flute Straight Bit with 1/2 In. Shank (Model 12-168)

Pro-Tip: Large diameter bits like this 7/8" cutter remove a significant amount of material and generate more torque than smaller bits. To ensure safety and a high-quality finish, consider reducing your router's RPM slightly below the maximum 24,000 RPM, and always make multiple passes rather than attempting to cut the full depth at once.

durable. interesting shape
Size: 9.5 inch
I like that chew bones come in a variety of shapes. This shape is currently not my dog's favorite but that is ok. She plays with it a bit. It is durable and she will get around to it sometimes.

My dog loves bam-bones
Size: 5.25 inch (Pack of 1)
I wasn’t sure how my dog would like this since it’s stick shaped instead of the typical Y or T shaped bones. She was apprehensive at first but eventually loved it. She’s on her second one now. They don’t last quite as long as the name-brand nylon bones but she loves them the same and they’re a better price.

Good product, except that dogs don’t seem interested.
Size: 5.25 inch (Pack of 1), Size: 5.25 inch (Pack of 1)
It’s a good side for 8-20lb dogs which are the size dogs I foster. So far none of my fosters have been interested in this particular toy. I’m not sure why. It seems like a quality product, that is not so hard that it will hurt teeth but, durable enough that it will last for moderate chewers. I appreciate that it had some texture for pups to work their paws and mouths around. Again, none of the dogs here have been interested yet but other than that, as far as I can tell the product is good. I’ll update if I ever get a foster that goes HAM for it.

Ok
Size: 5.25 inch (Pack of 1)
My pups not overly interested in it. If it had some texture it would be better. The price was right though, and it gives him some variety in his toys.
