298 Chamfer Bit

A chamfer bit is a type of router bit used in woodworking to create chamfers on the edges of a workpiece. A chamfer is a beveled edge or angle cut into the material, typically at a 45-degree angle, although other angles are also possible. Chamfers are often used for decorative purposes, to ease or soften the edges of a piece, or to create a more finished appearance.Chamfer bits typically come in a variety of sizes, allowing woodworkers to create different chamfer widths and depths. They can be used with hand routers or table routers, depending on the project’s requirements. Chamfer bits have a cutting edge or blades that create the beveled cut as they spin. When using a chamfer bit, the depth and width of the cut can be adjusted by changing the router bit’s height and the position of the fence or guide on the router table.
