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

I would like to know if this item can be purchased with a 1/4 shank. I could use one right away if this is availble. Please e-mail me at [email protected]. Thanks

Brought for son in law one Christmas and have not heard any complaints.

I used this bit to contour the edges of a set tables with tops made of 5/4 sugar maple. Worked perfectly. Cut cleanly with no burn. This is a big bit! I had to make a custom plate for my Porter Cable handheld router to accommodate the bits diameter. I was concerned that the fixed speed of the router was too fast for this size bit. It was not a problem. Other reviews indicate that the bit is so big that its dangerous. Just slow down the feed rate, make successive shallow cuts and everyone will be fine.

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

works a prescribed

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.

good product !

This bit made my 45 degree miter joints accurate.

Worth every cent I paid for it. Be careful removing the bit from the packaging.

Worked perfect … can’t beat Freud
