Introducing the Freud 16-107 11/32" Mortising Bit — a precision tool designed to deliver clean, accurate mortises across plywood, veneer, solid wood, and most composite materials. Built for reliability in both professional workshops and DIY projects, this bit helps you achieve flawless joints with less effort and reduced tear-out.

• 11/32" diameter mortising bit tailored for standard hinge and hardware mortises, delivering consistent, predictable cuts.
• Down shear design directs wood fibers downward during the cut, dramatically reducing splintering on the exit edge for pristine mortises.
• Deep center gullets maximize material removal and minimize chip loading, keeping your cut smooth and efficient even in tougher materials.
• Material versatility excels in plywood, veneer, solid wood, and most composite substrates, making it a go-to choice for cabinetmakers and furniture builders.
• Grooves, dadoes, and hinge mortises — ideal for precise grooves and dadoes as well as hardware and hinge mortises, expanding your routing possibilities.
• CNC or portable router compatible— use this bit in a stationary CNC setup for repeatable work or in a handheld router for on-site adjustments and custom projects.

Why this bit stands out: the combination of down shear geometry and deep center gullets is engineered to minimize tear-out while delivering fast material removal. That means cleaner mortises, tighter fits for hinges and hardware, and less time spent reworking surfaces. Whether you’re building built-ins, installing cabinet doors, or crafting precision inlays, the Freud 16-107 helps you move from rough cut to finished joint with confidence.

Pro tips for best results: match your feed rate and RPM to the material, ensure ample chip clearance, and consider a light climb cut in plywood or veneer to minimize edge tear-out. With its durable construction and thoughtful geometry, this mortising bit becomes a dependable workhorse in any shop toolbox.
