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

Amazing bit, chewed right through the wood!

The bit is not large enough to chamfer a 3/4 thick board. It leaves a flat ridge at the bottom of the board. Other reviews said it was so Im disappointed that I wasted my money.

Super sharp, cuts a 45 degree chamfer. Couldn’t ask for more.

It is nice when good tools are available and never need return. I purchased it for a specific project and the bit cut a very smooth bevel.

High quality and durable!

Just so you know, when buying this bit, the cut can be made larger than the typical chamfer bit, BUT that also means that you have a larger diameter to spin. Dont forget that router hole for your router table (or router) needs to be larger as well. Shaves like a barber though.

Good deal, works well, costs way less than bits at the store, worked well for my kitchen job, will use again.

Like all of my other Freud bits and blades, this router bit performs very well. Cuts very smoothly with excellent results. The one problem with this bit, as at least one other reviewer noted, is that the bearing is too narrow. I just used it for the first time on some pine, and it left a noticeable groove down the entire length of the wood. I wasnt pushing hard against the wood, just trying to hold the router securely along the edge. If you use this bit on any wood that is remotely soft, you will have to be very careful if you want to avoid having the bearing mark the wood. If the work piece is important / valuable where the groove would be a problem, I would recommend testing on a scrap first. Photos attached.

Well made Sharp clean lines

Watch your finger tips when installing this router bit. It is razor sharp. Now that my finger tip has healed and made a few dozen passes cross grain on solid oak I have to give it a good review for performance as well.
