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

Routing has always been a gut wrenching idea to me. It is the one part of a project that most likely can not be fixed and is typically where the eye is drawn. I finally decided to route a desk I made and this bit made it absolutely amazingly easy. My first time routing and it was like butter. The project came out way better then expected. I only needed to route 8 edges so I can’t say what long term life this bit has but for the 15 feet or so i needed to route it worked flawless. I routed resin and honey locus, only one long edge was resin, the rest was wood.

Very clean cut!!

as advertised; so far it seems worth the expense (one can buy a similar one in off-brand for half as much); but this is something I will use for many years, and wanted a high quality one.

Like the 1/2 inch shank which is needed for the largest router bit I’ve ever used. I have only taken many small passes on boards to long for my table saw.

Freud Bits are well made!!!

I bought this to use in making staves for boxes but I have used it for chamfering edges of projects. It is a heavy duty router bit. Made real strong and very large bit. Works flawlessly.

I am rather new to woodworking after having not done very much in a number of years. Im amazed at the new tools and products that are making it easier to accomplish tasks much faster with better results that the old ways. Freud has always crafted quality tools and this one is no exception. Fast, sharp and easy to use bit. Glad Im spending the extra cash instead of trying to make an inferior bit work. Will keep buying the Freud bits one or two at a time until I get a complete set together. VERY HAPPY!!

Typical excellent Freud quality - this bit mills aluminum as well as wood. Cuts are super clean, no tearout when using the proper speed and feedrate. Zero chatter.

Prompt delivery. High quality router bit as you would expect from Freud. Love the beefy 1/2 shank. Should last for many uses.

Works fine.
