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

It appeared sharp and ready to go, my mistake was not going over it with the diamond first and tore the crap out of the edges on a custom item I was making. $$$ loss, my bad for not sharpening it myself. Watch em!

This router bit is the ticket. It does not burn the wood and last a long time.

These Freud bit are excellent but very expensive. The give a very smooth cut with little if any additional sanding required. I took square pieces of oak and rounded over one side to make a half circle radius. The two routed seams blended perfectly. I do wish the were cheaper.

First of all, I am very happy with the nice clean cut I get with rounding operations using this bit. Ive used it on elm end grain with no problems. Heres what ticks me off: 1. The additional cutting bits that make this a quadra are partial length and (as far as I can see) dont come into play with a simple rounding over operation. They come into play only when you do beading, which you cant do with this bit as it is. I would have bought the standard bit if I had known that. 2. In order to do beading you have to purchase ANOTHER bearing and washer to the tune of about $26. 3. If you decide its worth it to part with the $26, youll find that the bearing recommended for this bit has an ID of 3/16 The shank on the end of the bit is 1/4. Both amazon and the Freud website have the same conflicting information. Several other reviewers have had similar complaints. I would be glad to make this review more positive if Freud would provide some answers. So Freud, this is one of your customers with a problem. Your comments are welcome. Lets see if you care enough to respond.

Study and cuts through wood like butter!

my expierence with frued bits has always been great. this bit is a quality product that produces great results and if handled properly will last a long time. packing shipping price were all good. save time and grief buy a good bit and be done!

This bit works OK bu ti could be improved if it had wider wings to give more of a sweep to the round-over. Im using it in a router table and cant seem to get it to cut a full round-over. I either get a partial or get a ridge.

Well made

I am completely satisfied with the item. It does just what is described on the Amazon site. The quality and workmanship is excellent.
