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

I am rather new to woodworking after having not done very much in a number of years. Im amazed at the new tools and products that are making it easier to accomplish tasks much faster with better results that the old ways. Freud has always crafted quality tools and this one is no exception. Fast, sharp and easy to use bit. Glad Im spending the extra cash instead of trying to make an inferior bit work. Will keep buying the Freud bits one or two at a time until I get a complete set together. VERY HAPPY!!

Works fine.

I bought this to use in making staves for boxes but I have used it for chamfering edges of projects. It is a heavy duty router bit. Made real strong and very large bit. Works flawlessly.

We wanted to install our new vessel sink sunk part way into the countertop so that it wasnt too tall. This bit made a perfect angled lip in the countertop so there was a nice, wide contact zone for the caulking to adhere between the bowl and the counter.

This was the perfect tool for my project. It was very helpful to have the cutting diagram with the cutting angle shown. It cut fast and accurate. The cut was what I needed for my kitchen cabinet repair. After completeing my project with this bit it is as sharp as when I opened the package.

Very smooth cut. Just make sure to lower the speed to minimum on your router.

Pros: The bit is well made and cuts well. Cons: The guide bearing is very thin and when you put pressure on it while cutting you can leave a mark on soft woods like pine. I solved the con issue by making the chamber in two cuts and not putting a lot of pushing the router against the work piece.

I have been buying Freud bits to replace a cheap box set I bought. The Freud ones like this cut through wood like a knife through butter. Very pleased with the two purchased to date.

Good finish on a1/2 Chamfer cut. It is a Freud bit and was delivered on time and in excellent condition. It was exactly what I needed.

I bought this bit specifically for a project I was working on. Worked well, but unfortunately the bit chipped during its first use. Was kind of disappointed in the quality.
