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

… and yes the difference is noticeable. Particularly if you’re doing finishing jobs, then paying the extra for Feud is justifiable.

Just as pictured.

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.

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.

The router bit arrived within a few days of order (thank you Amazon). The bit was exactly as described in the on-line description and was sharp and cut quickly and cleanly through pressure-treated pine. The bit produced perfect 45-degree chamfer edges up to an inch in depth (via multiple passes) with very little chatter, and it remains sharp after several hours of cutting. This particular bit might seem a bit expensive, but given its quality and performance, I consider it a worthwhile investment.

Like the quality.

Pros: The bit is well made and cuts well. Cons: The guide bearing is very thin and when you put pressure on it while cutting you can leave a mark on soft woods like pine. I solved the con issue by making the chamber in two cuts and not putting a lot of pushing the router against the work piece.

Works like it should.

Is what it says it is; would buy again, works fine, cuts well. Not quite sure what to say for reviews like this?

Used it on a project that had no margin for grabby cutters. Surface is glassy smooth. It worked very nice.
