Freud chamfer bit 40-106 is a router bit designed to rout a chamfer profile for multiple-sided projects, joinery, and easing edges, so one bit handles a range of common edge-shaping tasks in the shop. The bit has a 1-3/4 inch diameter, which cuts a substantial chamfer profile in a single pass for efficient shaping on typical furniture and cabinet parts. A 1/4 inch shank allows this chamfer bit to fit routers that accept 1/4 inch shank router bits, supporting use in many hand-held and portable tools. The overall 2 inch length helps the bit reach the edge of common thickness stock while remaining manageable during routing. The chamfer profile creates a uniform chamfer along an edge, adding character while retaining crisp geometric lines that matter on visible work.
This Freud chamfer router bit is specified for use on hand-held and table-mounted routers, so it can stay in service whether the workpiece is brought to the router table or the router is brought to the work. Using the same 1/4 inch shank bit across these setups reduces changeover when moving between shop and field work. The 1-3/4 inch diameter cutting profile routes a broad chamfer in either configuration, which helps maintain the same visual detail on parts regardless of how they are machined. The 2 inch length suits portable routers and many compact router tables, supporting stable handling while routing edges on hardwood, softwood, plywood, or composition materials.
The chamfer profile on this bit is described as a solution for multiple-sided projects, joinery, and easing edges, so it fits well into shop routines that produce panels, frames, and angled assemblies. On cabinet doors or furniture tops, routing a uniform chamfer with this 1-3/4 inch diameter bit lets the user break edges for handling while still presenting crisp geometric lines on the finished piece. For plywood and composite sheet components, the ability to cut all composition materials, plywood, hardwood, and softwood means this one bit can handle carcass parts, shelves, and face components without changing tooling between materials. When working with hardwood trim or solid wood edging, the bit can ease exposed edges while contributing a consistent visual detail that ties pieces together across a project.
The chamfer size on this bit adjusts by changing the bit height or moving the fence, which means installers can repeat a preferred chamfer dimension once the router or router table is dialed in. The 1/4 inch shank keeps the bit compatible with routers designed for 1/4 inch shank bits, supporting repeat setups across commonly used tools. The 1-3/4 inch diameter cutting profile offers a wide chamfer face, helping minor variations in setup still produce a visually substantial bevel. Freud Perma-SHIELD Coating is part of the description, which indicates the bit is designed with a specific coating that supports its role in routing hardwood, softwood, plywood, and composition materials during extended use. The manufacturer part number 40-106 ties these details to a specific Freud chamfer bit, which helps maintain consistency when the same edge profile is needed again on future work.
The Freud chamfer bit 40-106 cuts all composition materials, plywood, hardwood, and softwood, so it can be applied across typical sheet goods and solid stock in woodworking projects.
The chamfer size on this bit adjusts by changing the height of the bit or moving the fence, allowing control over the width of the chamfered edge on a workpiece.
The Freud 40-106 chamfer bit is specified for use on hand-held routers, so it can be used directly on installed work or workpieces that are not brought to a table.
This chamfer bit is specified for use on table-mounted routers, allowing edge work on smaller parts or repeated pieces using a fence-based setup.
The Freud chamfer bit 40-106 has a 1/4 inch shank, fitting routers that accept 1/4 inch shank bits and supporting use in many portable and shop routers.
This chamfer router bit has a 1-3/4 inch diameter and an overall length of 2 inches, supporting a broad chamfer profile in a compact, manageable format.
The Freud chamfer bit 40-106 combines a 1-3/4 inch diameter cutting profile with a 1/4 inch shank and 2 inch length, aligning with common router setups for cabinet and furniture work. Its ability to cut hardwood, softwood, plywood, and composition materials lets it handle varied project stock without swapping bits. Adjustable chamfer size by bit height or fence position supports repeatable edge details across runs. For multiple-sided projects, joinery, or easing edges while retaining crisp geometric lines, this Freud chamfer router bit offers a defined solution for controlled chamfer routing.
