Achieve Flawless Splinter-Free Hinge Mortises with the Freud 1/2 Inch Mortising Router Bit

Create perfectly clean, flat-bottomed recesses for hinges and hardware with the Freud 16-100 1/2 Inch Mortising Bit. Unlike standard straight bits, this specialized cutter features a down-shear design that actively pushes wood fibers down as it cuts. This shearing action eliminates the surface splintering and "fuzz" often seen on plywood veneers and solid woods, ensuring that your hardware sits flush in a crisp, professional-grade mortise every time. Whether you are building cabinetry, installing doors, or creating intricate dados, this bit delivers the precision required for high-end joinery.

Engineered for efficiency and longevity, the 16-100 is equipped with deep center gullets that allow for maximum material removal without chip loading, keeping the bit cool during operation. The cutter is protected by Freud's signature Perma-SHIELD coating, which reduces friction and prevents the buildup of heat-generating pitch and resin. With a compact 1/2-inch cutting height and a 1/4-inch shank, this bit is perfectly balanced for use in CNC machines, hand-held routers, and table-mounted setups, making it a versatile essential for any woodworker's toolkit.

Key Features

  • Down-Shear Geometry: Pushes wood fibers down during the cut to eliminate surface splintering on veneers and solid wood.
  • Perma-SHIELD Coating: Non-stick coating reduces drag, prevents heating, and resists pitch buildup.
  • Deep Center Gullets: Optimized design clears chips rapidly to prevent clogging during material removal.
  • Hardware Installation: Specifically designed for creating clean, flat-bottom mortises for hinges and plates.
  • Versatile Compatibility: Safe for use in CNC, hand-held, and table-mounted routers.
  • Precision Ground: Computer-balanced to ensure vibration-free operation at high RPMs.

What's Included:

  • (1) 1/2 In. Mortising Bit with 1/4 In. Shank (Model 16-100)

Pro-Tip: Because mortising bits like the 16-100 are designed with a short carbide height (1/2"), they are specialized for shallow hardware recesses. If you need to cut a deep dado or groove that exceeds 1/2" in depth, do not try to force the bit deeper than its carbide. Instead, switch to a standard double-flute straight bit with a longer cutting length to finish the depth.

Make sure you read the terms and conditions and don't let them off the hook
Asurion is counting on the fact that you don't know how to read. They made the claim process aggravating and as difficult as possible. I CAN read and had to review the terms and conditions with them on the phone and threaten to involve an attorney before they would honor the coverage. They tried to say my product was not portable, when the word "portable" is literally in the name of the product. Then they tried to say the the accidental drop was not covered, but it clearly states in the terms and conditions that an accidental drop and a cracked screen is a covered event. I buy the coverage almost every time I am offered it, but I will be rethinking that going forward and Amazon should consider finding a different company to issue the protection plans for their products because I fear this is the beginning of a lot of complaints. I have filed a claim in the past and it was very straightforward and easy, but they must have a new company managing the plans now, because it was anything but easy. If I was an older person who was not tech savy, or who just took someone's word at face value, I would be out the cost of my item and the protection plan. BUYER BEWARE

Love it.
Style: Ink
I love my epson workforce printer. I used to be a Canon person but once I got this printer. It changed my mind. So the ink is worth it. Especially in the bundle package. It may be a bit on the pricey side but it last me awhile. At least, in my opinion, it’s less expensive than buying them separately. Epson makes great stuff and glad I chose to stick with them. The ink is very good and looks great after it prints. Thanks to Epson for functionality, cost and efficiency when it comes you your products.

It's ink and it works.
Style: Ink
It's ink and it works. My Epson printer is VERY finicky and only wants name-brand ink. This is it. A little pricey but they all are.
