Freud 40-114: 1-5/8 (Dia.) Chamfer Bit

Dont be fooled by the item name, this bit actually has a 1/2 shank. As with all Freud bits, this is a great item.

Amazing bit, chewed right through the wood!

I like my Freud chamfer bit - wonder what Sigmund would have to say about that.

I got this bit for a simple project and now I use it more than I ever guessed. It does a great job.

I prefer Freud router bits based on consistently high quality. This is an example. This bit is very useful for slight bevel on trim or the like. The 25 degree bevel (vs vertical) is quite nice if 45 or 30 are too slanted, and the slighter angle also makes the bit a little easier to work - the outside diameter is smaller. Suggest use on light material (such as primary design purpose, re trimming countertop laminates) with slow rate over work, or in a router table. Either way a variable speed router is required for best results, turned down from max just slightly. My first use was actually duplicating a guitar pickguard using an original as pattern -- on a router table, using spacers in between to get the cutter to align as closely as possible to the bearing. One of many examples where this bit is extremely suitable and useful.

Nice well made bit, cuts smoothly

Works as promised and has been sharp for 2 uses so far. A good price for this hard to find angle. A prefect angle for ourdoor frames to not let rainwater stand on finished surface. As a beginner to pattern routing I would advise to look for knots in your guide material as the bit will follow the knot gap and route a corresponding, perfectly matching gap, oops!

When used properly at the correct speed and depth of cut it created a butter smooth edge on my Padauk desk top with no burning, chatter, or chipping.

Ive been using this bit for around year, helping me make some modern trim for my house. It works well, has held a scary sharp edge after routing a couple hundred feet of poplar.

This bit is just ticket for my needs. I would recommend it to anyone. I am very happy with this tool.
