Freud 34-104: 1/8 Radius Rounding Over Bit, EA, Multi

I have about a dozen different brands of router bits and Freud are some of the best I own. This bit is no exception. Clean cuts with little to no sanding required. Very sharp. I have used it now on several projects and it shows no signs of slowing down.

Used the router bit today on UHMW plastic and it worked great. Smooth cuts.

Bad tooth on this one.

Quad cut does a fantastic job.

Just what I need.

This bit worked perfect! The edges came out very smooth so I did not have to do a bunch of sand after making the cuts. I have only used a few different Freud bits and each of them work great. They do cost more, but they work really well.

You just cant go wrong with the quality of the Freud router bits !!!

Fantastic, smooth cut through hard maple. Very impressed with the ease of use and the quality of the cut.

Sweet cutting bit

My current project is making wooden cabinet pulls which has the softened edge or roundover. I have a set of Ryobi router bits from HomeDepot, and despite sharpening the bit, I was having significant burning and chipout (to be fair, I paid a set of 15 Ryobi bits for ~$70). This Freud Quadra bit is made in Italy, and slightly larger diameter than the equivalent Ryobi bit (note the larger diameter bearing on Freud bit also). The Freud bit does cut with minimal burning on the surface of wood (mahogany and walnut), however, I did manage to cause a similar chipout with the Freud bit. If I need roundover on a few pieces, the Ryobi bit would have been ok, but more than that hand-sanding the tight spots to remove the burning is too time-consuming. Its not clear two extra blades are advantageous for this application though. I hope the bit will stay sharp. Please keep in mind that this review is from a beginner woodworker, YMMV.
