Achieve Flawless, Splinter-Free Mortises with Freud’s Precision Down-Shear Mortising Bits

The Freud 16-098 15/32" Mortising Router Bit is a professional-grade solution specifically engineered to deliver clean, surgical-grade mortises in plywood, veneers, and solid woods. This bit is uniquely sized for 1/2" plywood hardware applications, ensuring a perfect fit for hinges and specialty hardware without the loose tolerances found in standard bits. The specialized down-shear geometry works by pushing wood fibers downward during the cut, effectively eliminating top-surface splintering and leaving a crisp, finished edge that requires zero rework.

Constructed with Freud's proprietary TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide and protected by a non-stick Perma-SHIELD® Coating, the 16-098 is built to withstand high-heat, high-production environments. The bit features deep center gullets designed for maximum material removal, allowing for fast, efficient clearing of chips without the risk of chip loading or bit overheating. Optimized for peak performance in CNC machines, hand-held routers, and table-mounted setups, this tool is indispensable for creating precise grooves, dadoes, and hardware recesses in all composition materials.

Key Features

  • Down-Shear Cutting Action: Specifically designed to push fibers down for a splinter-free top surface.
  • High-Speed Material Removal: Deep center gullets allow for fast chip clearance and prevent clogging.
  • Perma-SHIELD® Coating: Non-stick red coating protects against heat collection, corrosion, and resin buildup.
  • Precision Hardwood Sizing: Ideal for 15/32" grooves and mortises typically required for 1/2" plywood projects.
  • Industrial Carbide: Features TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide for maximum tool life and long-term edge retention.
  • Universal Machine Setup: Fully optimized for use on CNC, hand-held, and table-mounted portable routers.

Pro-Tip: To ensure the longest life for your mortising bit and the cleanest possible floor in your grooves, perform deep mortises in multiple shallow passes rather than one single deep cut. This reduces heat buildup and allows the deep center gullets to clear chips more effectively, preventing "burning" on the workpiece.

Color Untrue
Fabric is thin woven, it might work well for those in warmer climates, the fit was slightly larger than USA sizes, the color is two shades lighter than advertised, navy blue is actually a periwinkle blue. It arrived timely.
