Freud 4-Piece Undersized Plywood Bit Set, 1/4 Inch Shank

Elevate your routing accuracy with Freud

Freud’s router bits bring a blend of precision engineering and durable materials to your workshop. Crafted with TiCo Hi-Density Carbide, these bits are designed for long-lasting sharpness and reliable performance. The set features careful balancing to minimize vibration, helping you achieve cleaner edges with less effort. A practical shadow box keeps your bits organized and accessible, whether you’re mounting the case on the wall or resting it on the benchtop.

What’s in the box

The 4-piece undersized plywood bit set is tailored for plywood panels that are 1/4 to 3/4 inch thick. It includes three mortising bits and one solid carbide double-flute straight bit, all with 1/4 inch shanks. The bits are paired with Freud’s signature Perma-SHIELD coating, which helps limit heat buildup and resist pitch buildup during extended routing sessions.

• Four premium bits designed for undersized plywood and composite materials
• Three mortising bits (04-111, 16-103, 16-096) plus one straight bit (16-098)
• 1/4 inch shanks for broad compatibility with common routers
• Shadow box case for wall or bench mounting and safe storage

Real-world use and benefits

These bits shine in tasks that require precise grooves, dadoes, and joints in thin plywood. Use them with hand-held or table-mounted routers to achieve fitted pockets and clean edges on materials ranging from softwoods to plywood and composites. The TiCo carbide formulation is engineered to maintain sharpness over more cutting sessions, while the Perma-SHIELD coating helps keep heat and pitch to a minimum for steadier cuts.

• Designed to match true plywood thicknesses—1/4", 3/8", 1/2", and 3/4"—for accurate pocketing
• Suitable for hand-held and router-table setups, offering versatile workflow options
• Long-lasting cutting life with high-density carbide and protective coating
• Compact storage with the included shadow box keeps bits organized and accessible

While not a guarantee of results, this set provides a reliable option for precise routing tasks in undersized plywood. By choosing a Freud bit set, you’re selecting a product backed by decades of toolmaking expertise, designed to help woodworkers pursue accurate fits and smooth finishes with confidence.
