Freud 40-114 1-5/8-Inch Diameter 45-Degree Chamfer Router Bit

The Freud 40-114 1-5/8-Inch Diameter 45-Degree Chamfer Router Bit is a precision wood-shaping accessory engineered to profile clean 45-degree decorative edges and multi-sided joinery bevels. Featuring TiCo Hi-Density Carbide cutting edges on a rigid 1/2-inch shank, this 1-5/8-inch diameter bit operates at speeds up to 16,000 RPM with a 5/8-inch cutting height. Compatible with both handheld and router table setups, this carbide-tipped beveling bit solves surface tear-out, friction burn marks, and inaccurate joint angle challenges across hardwood furniture and cabinet trim fabrication.

Best Used For:

  • Cabinetry & Furniture Edge Profiling: Shaping uniform 45-degree decorative bevels along solid hardwood table tops, cabinet doors, and drawer fronts.
  • Multi-Sided Box & Frame Joinery: Milling precise 45-degree mitered bevel edges on plywood and MDF stock for seamless multi-sided corner assembly.
  • Architectural Trim Beveling: Easing sharp corners on interior millwork, baseboards, and composite trim panels to prevent paint chipping.

Key Performance & Safety Features

  • TiCo Hi-Density Carbide Formulation: Specialized titanium-cobalt carbide composition maintains keen edge sharpness under high heat generated by dense hardwoods.
  • Perma-SHIELD Non-Stick Coating: Protective red thermal barrier resists pitch buildup, resin adhesion, and corrosion to reduce cutting drag.
  • 1/2-Inch Heavy-Duty Shank: Precision-ground steel shank provides maximum clamping surface area in collets to eliminate vibration chatter at 16,000 RPM.
  • Computer-Balanced Precision-Ground Edges: Dynamic balancing eliminates rotational runout to produce smooth, burn-free chamfer cuts requiring minimal sanding.
  • Adjustable Profile Height Versatility: Micro-adjusting router bit height or fence depth varies the chamfer face width up to a full 5/8-inch vertical height.
  • Tri-Metal Brazing Shield: Impact-resistant silver-copper-silver brazing bonds carbide tips to the steel body for structural durability against shock.
