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

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.

I was pleased with it.

it was a gift

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.

Havent had a chance to use, but it will get used a lot. Top brand name Freud should last a long time.

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.

Prompt delivery. High quality router bit as you would expect from Freud. Love the beefy 1/2 shank. Should last for many uses.

Excellent router bit

Good sharp bit. Never burned the wood on me. I personally used it on carsiding that I previously had put 3 coats of clear urethane on it still cut good without dulling the bit.

I prefer Freud router bits based on consistently high quality. This is an example. This bit is very useful for slight bevel on trim or the like. The 25 degree bevel (vs vertical) is quite nice if 45 or 30 are too slanted, and the slighter angle also makes the bit a little easier to work - the outside diameter is smaller. Suggest use on light material (such as primary design purpose, re trimming countertop laminates) with slow rate over work, or in a router table. Either way a variable speed router is required for best results, turned down from max just slightly. My first use was actually duplicating a guitar pickguard using an original as pattern -- on a router table, using spacers in between to get the cutter to align as closely as possible to the bearing. One of many examples where this bit is extremely suitable and useful.
