Freud chamfer bit 40-104 is a router bit designed to cut a uniform chamfer on the edge of a work piece, so you can add character while keeping crisp geometric lines on finished parts. The bit has a 1-11/32 inch diameter and a 1/4 inch shank, giving a compact cutting profile that suits portable routers used in cabinet or woodworking shops. The tool is a chamfer bit in the router bits class, so it fits naturally into edge profiling work where a consistent bevel is needed. It routs hardwood, softwood, plywood, and composites, which lets one bit move between solid wood frames, sheet goods, and man-made panels during the same project. The bit works in hand-held and table-mounted portable routers, supporting both on-site edge work and stable shop setups.
This chamfer bit is described as having chamfer size easily adjusted by changing the height of the bit or moving the fence, so installers can fine-tune chamfer width without changing tools. Using height changes in a router lift or collet adjustment alters how deeply the profile engages the edge, which determines the visible bevel size on doors, shelves, or rails. Fence movement on a table-mounted portable router shifts the work piece path relative to the cutter, which lets a shop repeat the same chamfer setting across multiple identical parts. The bit is intended for hand-held and table-mounted routers, so it supports both guided edge passes with bearings or fences and controlled feeding along a router table fence for repeat runs.
The chamfer bit is described as routing hardwood, softwood, plywood, and composites, so it can move from solid wood frames to sheet goods and man-made panels without changing profiles. In hardwood and softwood, the uniform chamfer helps break sharp edges on rails, stiles, and moldings while preserving straight, crisp lines that match geometric designs. When used on plywood, the bit can ease exposed panel edges, creating a consistent bevel that visually finishes cabinet sides and shelves. On composite materials, the same profile can add a defined edge to parts made from engineered boards, keeping a consistent look across mixed-material assemblies. The manufacturer notes that the chamfer profile is a solution for multiple-sided projects, so the same cutting geometry can be used when creating angled edges on work pieces that will be assembled into many-sided forms. The web description states that related bits are used to make 16-sided and 12-sided pieces, which highlights how a uniform chamfer helps form precise facets where each edge must meet cleanly. That focus on crisp geometric lines matters wherever miters or angled joints must align visually around a panel or frame.
The web description specifies that chamfer size easily adjusts by changing the height of the bit or moving the fence, which gives direct control over bevel width using standard router adjustments. This height-and-fence method lets installers repeat a chosen chamfer dimension across batches of doors, tops, or trims by holding the same settings between passes. The bit is specified for use in hand-held or table-mounted portable routers, so the cutting geometry is suited to both freehand edge routing and fence-guided table work. In hand-held routers, the 1/4 inch shank and 1-11/32 inch diameter pair with portable machines, allowing controlled passes along long edges or assembled cabinets. In table-mounted setups, moving the fence as described sets a consistent reveal, which supports production style runs where each work piece receives the same chamfer. The product description references Freud Perma-SHIELD Coating, indicating the cutting body carries this branded coating. This coating is part of the bit design, so it contributes to how the tool interacts with wood and composite materials during repeated routing operations.
The chamfer bit creates a uniform chamfer on the edge of a work piece, so it is intended for adding character to edges while retaining crisp geometric lines on multiple-sided projects and joinery.
The chamfer bit changes chamfer size by adjusting the height of the bit or by moving the fence, allowing different bevel widths using standard router setup changes.
The chamfer bit routs hardwood, softwood, plywood, and composites, so it can be used on solid wood parts, sheet goods, and engineered panels within the same project.
The chamfer bit is specified for use in hand-held and table-mounted portable routers, supporting both mobile edge work and router table operations.
The 1-11/32 inch diameter indicates the cutting circle size, which shapes how much edge area the bit engages during a pass when creating the chamfer profile.
The Freud Perma-SHIELD Coating is part of the bit design, affecting how the tool body is finished as it routs hardwood, softwood, plywood, and composite materials.
The chamfer bit with 1-11/32 inch diameter and 1/4 inch shank offers a defined chamfer profile for hardwood, softwood, plywood, and composites, so it suits varied shop materials. Its adjustable chamfer size, through bit height or fence movement, supports consistent bevels on repeated parts. With use specified in hand-held and table-mounted portable routers, it fits typical routing workflows in professional and serious DIY environments. Selecting this Freud chamfer router bit aligns edge profiling needs with a tool designed for uniform chamfers and crisp geometric lines on routed work pieces.
