Freud 40-106 1-3/4" Diameter 45° Chamfer Router Bit (1/4" Shank)

The Freud 40-106 1-3/4-inch diameter 45-degree chamfer router bit eases sharp workpiece edges, bevels solid hardwood stock, shapes multi-sided architectural planters, and cuts precision 8-sided miter joinery without edge splintering. Engineered with proprietary TiCo™ high-density carbide cutting edges and rated for spindle operating speeds up to 16,000 RPM, this 1/4-inch shank bit features an expansive 5/8-inch carbide cutting height to produce uniform 45° bevels across variable material thicknesses. Outfitted with an integrated 1/2-inch precision steel pilot ball bearing that guarantees mar-free tracking, alongside a friction-reducing Perma-SHIELD® protective coating that prevents pitch adhesion and thermal degradation, it equips custom cabinetmakers, furniture builders, and trim carpenters with satin-smooth decorative edge treatments across handheld compact routers and table-mounted setups.

Best Used For:

  • Edge Easing and Decorative Profiling: Softening sharp 90-degree corners on tabletop perimeters, handrails, cabinet doors, and architectural baseboards to prevent impact denting.
  • Multi-Sided Column and Box Joinery: Milling accurate 45-degree edge bevels to construct sturdy 8-sided planters, decorative pedestals, and faceted casework enclosures.
  • Plywood Edge Dressing and Veneer Trimming: Beveling exposed plywood and composite sheet edges cleanly without chipping delicate top veneer layers.

Key Performance & Safety Features

  • TiCo™ Hi-Density Micrograin Carbide: Custom tungsten carbide blend withstands extreme friction and abrasion, extending cutting edge sharpness up to 2X longer.
  • Precise 45° Geometric Angle: Micro-ground cutter geometry ensures uniform, symmetrical bevel angles for precise decorative edges and faceted joinery.
  • Adjustable Chamfer Width: Depth and width of the bevel profile adjust easily by raising or lowering the router collet or setting fence depth.
  • Perma-SHIELD® Non-Stick Coating: Baked-on protective coating prevents resin buildup, gumming, and heat distortion during prolonged production runs.
  • Precision-Ground Pilot Ball Bearing: 1/2-inch steel pilot bearing guides the cutter along straight and curved workpiece edges without surface scoring.
  • Vibration-Free Computer Balancing: Individually balanced body design operates smoothly up to 16,000 RPM without harmonic chatter or tool wobble.

What's Included

  • (1) Freud 40-106 1-3/4" Diameter 45° Chamfer Router Bit (1/4" Shank)
