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

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.

I dont have a lot to say about this bit except that it is working great for me so far. It is sharp and has a nice edge on it. Would buy again.

Hot Knife thru Butter!!!! Purchased for a set of Adirondack chairs. Worked perfectly to round all the edges.

Ive never gone wrong with a freud bit. They hold an edge well, and give a nice clean cut.

Sharp, nice cutting bit. Needed the roundover in a 1/4 shank. Have had the same bit in 1/2 shank for many years and it still does a nice job. Expecting the same quality and durability in this one.

Good Freud bit. Didn’t realize how small a 1/16th round over is though. No point in routing one. One pass of sandpaper or block would give the same result.

This is the smoothest cutting small radius bit I have ever owned.

I build guitar amp cabinets and this round over bit has been the best by FAR. The extra two cutters make a HUGE difference. I wont buy anything else when I need another one,,,,IF, I need another one.;)

I won’t use it often but it was good to have it for this piece. Works well , like all freud tools

Super sharp high quality bit. You wont be dissapointed!
