Freud 20-152 V-groove Router Bit Carbide-tipped 60 Degree

Product Description

The FREUD 20-152 is a carbide-tipped V-groove router bit designed for edge profiling and decorative grooving work across a range of wood and composite materials. The bit cuts a 60-degree included angle groove and features a 0.25-inch shank diameter with a 0.5-inch length of cut and a 2-inch overall length. The proprietary coating on the carbide tip helps extend edge life and reduce heat buildup during cutting. This bit is suited for use in handheld routers or router tables and is typically installed by cabinet makers, finish carpenters, and millwork professionals handling production or custom joinery tasks.

The FREUD 20-152 is appropriate for routing V-grooves and decorative chamfered profiles in hardwood, softwood, plywood, and composite panel materials. Its compact 0.5-inch length of cut makes it well suited for shallow decorative passes and panel work where precise groove geometry is required. The non-piloted design means the operator controls cutting depth and lateral position using a fence, guide bushing, or router table setup.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by woodworking and millwork professionals using standard router collet tools. Always power down and disconnect the router from its power source before inserting or removing the bit. Secure the shank fully into the collet per the router manufacturer minimum insertion depth requirement. Set cutting depth and feed rate conservatively on initial passes to verify groove geometry before committing to production runs.
