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

Good product at a great price

Works great in my Bosch palm router for easing the edges.

Nice and smooth cuts

Its hard to tell if the bit is cutting its so smooth. No tear out, very clean surface, minimal effort.

Blabla

Good quality bit. The one thing that you should be aware of is that this has a solid pilot, not a ball bearing pilot. I should have read the description better. I am happy with the purchase anyway.

Was what I wanted.

Recieved the first bit, wasnt a quadra cut. Called Amazon the said they were very sorry, and arranged for replacement. Second Bit same as the first. This has happened 3 times, do not believe them when they say it is a Quadra-Cut.

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.

A little obnoxious to get the height exactly right, but a perfect little bit other than that. Just make sure you have some scrap to test the height on. If you can afford it, consider getting a cheap router specifically for this bit so you never have to think about it. Leaves a perfectly smooth edge without taking so much off that its obviously machined. Basically just looks like someone with some skill took a file and some sandpaper to break the corner.
