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

I purchased this bit to bevel the edge of a hardwood table top I was making. It cut the walnut easily and left a smooth finish. I have several Freud bits, they never let me down

The bit is excellent quality as are all Freud router bits (and blades). The problem (for me) is that I needed a bit that would cut 3/4 stock. This bit will not do that. It cuts 5/8 or maybe 11/16, but not 3/4 and certainly not 1 stock. caveat emptor.

we use it to get a nice 45 on cabinet panels. it works nuch beter than any of the saws we have used. the corners are perfect.

Theres not much to say here ... the bit is beautiful and up to the standard one might expect from Freud. It was packaged well and shipped promptly from the seller, arriving quickly and as described. The bit has a sharp and very durable edge. I used the bit to put a chamfer on some 12 PVC pipe sections I was using to construct part of an environmental science research project, and the bit worked just fine in PVC without chipping, grabbing or any misbehaviour. By the way, doing this creates volumes of white plastic sawdust that would serve well as fake snow.

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.

So far it has been doing very well. I have only used it on about twenty doors and drawer fronts for an edge. Freud has always been one of my choices. I am disappointed though that some of their bits are now being made in China. Very disappointing for me. I truly worry about thier commitment to quality.

Heavy duty tool eliminates chatter. Just slow it down to accommodate it’s size.

I have an ever growing collection of Freud bits, blades and tools and as always, this one is awesome. I am making all my trim in my house out of black ash and Im using this bit for the edges. It is the first chamfer bit that ive used that didnt burn at all on end grain.

Purpleheart, Walnut, Mesquite, Cedar this bit doesnt care what it runs through. Will buy Freud again!

Well worth to cost, very high quality bits. If you want bits that cut smooth and will last and last get Freud bits. All of the Freud bits I have purchased are of the same high value.
