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

Worked very well with a clean smooth face on the cut.

it gave us the right angle we needed

I really like these freud router bits. Well made, sharp bits that get the job done. The bearing continues to run very smooth, and I get clean, 45 degree chamfers on hard and soft woods.

Worked great for putting a chamfer on both sides of my 1 x 1-1/2 trim to match my ceiling angle. I would recommend Freud bits for any application. they are awesome!

Worked perfect … can’t beat Freud

as advertised; so far it seems worth the expense (one can buy a similar one in off-brand for half as much); but this is something I will use for many years, and wanted a high quality one.

I thought I could cut 45 degree joins with this but its really designed for a different purpose. My fault for not reading the description well before buying. It is a high quality big bit. USE WITH CARE.

I used this bit to contour the edges of a set tables with tops made of 5/4 sugar maple. Worked perfectly. Cut cleanly with no burn. This is a big bit! I had to make a custom plate for my Porter Cable handheld router to accommodate the bits diameter. I was concerned that the fixed speed of the router was too fast for this size bit. It was not a problem. Other reviews indicate that the bit is so big that its dangerous. Just slow down the feed rate, make successive shallow cuts and everyone will be fine.

This bit is just ticket for my needs. I would recommend it to anyone. I am very happy with this tool.

… and yes the difference is noticeable. Particularly if you’re doing finishing jobs, then paying the extra for Feud is justifiable.
