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

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

Really good chamfer bit. Used multiple times on various hardwoods and it has performed well!

Nice addition to my bit selection

I mostly use Freud in my wood shop and they’re excellent project after project!

This bit is exactly what I needed to create a 15 degree angle for making my Adirondack chairs. It’s much easier than using a jigsaw!!

Not like the picture! The picture shows a bit with matching diameter shank AND bearing (1/2). What you get is a 1/2 shank bit, mated with a ridiculously tiny 3/8 bearing. Bearing only has about 3/32 of vertical stock-riding surface, and sits about 1/8 above the flutes. So, youre flirting with disaster if the remaining stock is 1/4 or less below the flutes, youre likely to get more chatter/bumps due to the tiny bearing, and youre likely to get a groove burnished into the edge of the work (especially with softer woods) from the miniscule bearing-contact patch. All of which couldve been avoided if the bit were made to accept a 1/2 bearing of decent width. Because the top of the flutes are ground to fit the 3/8 bearing diameter, If you try to fit a 1/2 bearing to the bit, it lowers the initial contact point on the flutes to about 3/16 below the bearing. The only 1/2 shank, 1/2 bearing, 45 degree chamfer option Freud has necessitates a 2 1/2 throat diameter. I own a lot of Freud products, very disappointed with this one. Come on Freud, make it like the picture, WITH A 1/2 BEARING, sitting 1/32-1/16 above the flutes!

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.

the bit costs more than my Harbor Freight router. Their bits were not rated at the speed of their routers.

No issues

Exactly what i wanted and a good price compared to other places i have looked. I would recommend this product
