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

Good deal, works well, costs way less than bits at the store, worked well for my kitchen job, will use again.

I have used on several Baltic birch projects. Some of the edges were the only 1/8 cuts and they look great. They did need a very fine sand prior to paint, bit it was minimal.

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.

I always am pleased with everything I have bought made by freud. When used correctly it works as advertised. I will buy other freud router bits and saw blades.

Using this to create 1 inch chamfers on newel posts. Red Oak that is still very wet (12% moisture <) Took my time using Bosch 2.25 hp router and stepping between cuts slowly. Took some time to figure out correct speed setting on the router to keep the bit spinning (cutting) when engaged with over .5 inch of material being cut. Would buy again if needed.

Excellent router bit. Finish was perfect for glue up and blow out was minimal without support. I use this bit to make mitres on small boxes and it performs really well. The size of the cutter will cope with a variety of work pieces and allow the chamfer to be created in one pass. I had to make a router plate insert to allow for the cutter diameter, it is big.

I am not going to keep saying the same thing about Freud router bits, If I ever get a bad one I will let you know. But don hold your breath.

Works fine.

Worked beautifully to edge a hundred feet or so of solid wood countertop at 16,000 rpm using a PC 3.5 hp router. Did not require sanding afterward. Even under magnification I could not see any ripples. Only criticism I have is that the bearing seems small and did leave a slight impression along the face of the work, though that may have been because of the mass of the router.

If you want a good sharp bit, then this one fits the bill.
