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

Works great for 5 mill edge banding

This router bit worked really well rounding over the edges of my table top made of pine 2x4s. The bearing on the router bit is sturdy and rolls off the edges nicely. The only caveat is that I have yet to test it on harder wood species, so this rating may change later. The reason for the 4 star rating is that the price tag is a bit high as compared to other generic ones. While I understand the cost premium that comes with a brandname product, the cost difference seems to be a bit (pun intended) exorbitant.

Phenomenal cutting very precise and smooth. Just got done using it on some rounded over walnut picture frames and I am very impressed! The last round over bit I had was Frued and it was a piece of garbage. These quadra-cut bits are a godsend.

I bought this router bit because it looked interesting and my credit card was handy, not expecting to be surprised. When the bit arrived, I put it in my Bosch router and WOW! This bit skims through Mesquite like a regular bit would Pine. The result is a glass smooth edge that needs a little 400-grit touch before spray painting. Time is money in a woodshop and this bit delivers!!

I got this to make 2 inch diameter dowels to make a handrail that matches an existing handrail in my Victorian house. I chose this blade over other (less expensive) blades because it has four cutters and I’m hoping it will last longer. So far I’ve only done a test piece in soft wood, and it worked just fine for that. I can’t comment on longevity just yet, but I am impressed so far.

best radius bit i have used

Exactly what I needed

Used the router bit today on UHMW plastic and it worked great. Smooth cuts.

This is a rounding bit with a 1/16 radius. With a small radius, you must be sure that your wood is perfectly flat, and the edge is true (straight). Any winding or edge-cupping will result in a poor result. The quality of the bit itself is typical Freud quality -- excellent. The 1/4 shank is fully adequate for this small amount of rounding. The carbide is well sharpened. I got this bit to match some store-bought walnut furniture, and it performed admirably. If I hadnt had to match other pieces, I would have probably used a plane or hand-sanded the radius. Most of my router bits are Freud, and I reach for them over the others whenever possible. All of the Freud bits (most of which are well-priced on Amazon) may be found at freudtools.com.

Sharp, well made, and extremely durable. Cuts beautiful rounded-over edges on pine, maple, oak, and walnut. Handles everything I throw at it. I will definitely be buying more Freud router bits in the future!
