26-104 Panel Pilot Router Bit, 1/2 In. Dia., Carbide

The Freud 26-104 is a 1/2-inch single-flute panel pilot router bit designed for clean, precise entry cuts in sheet goods, laminates, and panel work. The drill-through point allows self-starting cuts while the pilot acts as a guide for template work, making it ideal for cabinet doors, trim, and other precision routing applications. This carbide-tipped bit cuts all composition materials, plywood, hardwood, and softwood on portable routers, helping you achieve professional results with minimal tear-out and reduced cleanup.

The panel pilot design creates exact starter holes that guide subsequent routing passes for consistent accuracy. Whether you're crafting furniture, installing mouldings, or working on cabinet layouts, this bit minimizes chip buildup and accelerates layout work while keeping vibration and wobble to a minimum.
