Freud 04-140: 3/4" (Dia.) Double Flute Straight Bit

Freud 3/4” Double Fluted 1/2” shaft router bit...... Excellent router bit. It’s cut is accurate in many materials, has no vibration, and lasts a good long time.I dropped a spinning router on concrete with this bit in place. It gouged out a nice hole in the concrete. Next I cut a 3/4” piece of melamine particle board with the same bit. It cut perfectly leaving no rough edges or gauging anywhere. It did produce a bit of smoke while cutting but considering the cutting blades hit the concrete at 16,000 rpm’s, I’d say that is one tough router bit. No vibrations, no chatter after it hit the concrete.I highly recommend you purchase Freud router bits

This thing works great and would buy again

Does exactly what its supposed to do. Cut a perfect 3/4" groove in wood.

First off Freud Blades and Bits are on the pricey side. But as it’s been said “You get what you pay for”. In this case it’s accurate. The routed profile is crisp and precise. Cheaper bits don’t cut as clean. Now I can’t speak to the longevity of it but if it’s like the saw blades that I have, I’m sure it will last a long time.

This is my first Freud router bit and review. It just arrived this evening. You can see the guage on top cutting blade. The other side seems to have a small pit. Not sure if this will affect the functionality. Only time will tell. I was kind of expecting better quality given the name brand seems to be well established. I'll update this review as time goes on. Take care.

It worked very well

you ALWAYS get what you pay for. I use this particular bit for making inlays for picture frames.

Seems well made. Time will tell.

Hey Its a Freud, not much more needs to be said. Excellent bit. Bought it to install t-tracks and it works perfect. I am sick of buying cheap router bits and having them only last a few passes. THis one, like all Freud products will last a very long time if it is used correctly

The media could not be loaded.  Works great, effortless 👍🏻

Very accurate and clean router cuts

I purchased this bit to cut some 3/4" slots for some aluminum T track I installed in my router base and it worked perfect. The bit is super sharp and bang on accurate. I also noticed my router runs a lot smoother and is quieter when using the Freud bits. I would recommend this product.

It's relatively inexpensive for a Freud bit compared to the big box stores. I used it a few times already and it was flawless.
