Freud 34-116: 1/2" Radius Rounding Over Bit (Quadra-Cut)

I was in need of a large round-over router bit for the bowls I’m crafting, and after some consideration, I decided to go with a Freud. Given the brand's reputation for high-quality tools, I had a strong feeling it would be a great choice—and I couldn’t have been more right! This router bit performs beautifully, providing smooth and precise cuts that elevate my woodworking projects to the next level. It’s equally effective on both hard woods and soft woods, making it incredibly versatile and reliable for all types of materials. The craftsmanship and durability of this router bit are truly impressive, and it has quickly become an essential part of my toolkit.

I decided to upgrade some of my router bits. I needed the 3/8 roundover for a project using several exotic woods that were prone to chipping. I used the Freud bit and had no problems at all. All of the cuts were smooth as glass. I highly recommend this Quadra cut bit!! They cost more, but well worth it when you're working with expensive wood. I hope it lasts a long time

This is a fantastic high quality round over bit from a trusted name in the business. I needed a round over bit to make quick work of knocking off the edges on a bathroom vanity I'm building and didn't want to hand sand all the edges. I vacillated between this 1/8" bit or the 1/16" bit and I'm glad I went with this one. I can't imagine that a sixteenth of an inch would be any less sharp that the regular cut corner. The 1/8" round over is almost imperceptible itself until you "see" it or feel it. What I mean by "see it" is I showed a sample piece I tried to my wife (one of the boards in the photos) and she was like "what am I looking at?" and I had her feel the corner and it was then she was "Ohhhhh, that's nice and soft". Basically this bit did exactly what I wanted and needed it to do. I was able to round off all sharp edges in just a few minutes with a quick pass of a finishing router and done. Worked out great. If I need any more router bits I will definitely be shopping Freud for their reputation and quality products.

Unreal! Just unreal! It cuts so good. I was nervous to use it it's huge but you can't even feel it cut its baffling. I've been seeking out the best of the best and this takes the cake for quality. Didn't even catch at known to catch spots on the work I do. 🤙🤙🤙

Have used Freud bits before. They tend to cost a bit more than others you can find around Amazon. But from my experience, you're paying for sharpness and how long it takes to dull out. I needed to put 1/8" Radius cuts on the edges of a slab of HDPE. Didn't even feel the tool cut the material, and the finish left behind was near polished. Very happy & satisfied with how the cutter handled, still looks like the bit was never even used. Can always recommend paying up for Freud bits on finish projects!

Good price and makes nice clean corners, ran it through 11 oak stair treads and it still seems plenty sharp.

It edged through cherry, birch, walnut, and mahogany hardwoods without hesitation. Very happy with its sharpness, smoothness, its fourth blade, and build quality. Pricer than others (just for one bit) but it feels like it’s going to outlast the cheaper ones. My only complaint is it burns/toasts the wood in a few spots. May be user error. I could be moving the router across the edges a little too slowly, however light sanding removes 98% of these burned spots.

I’ve gotten their blades for other tools and just got a router so I figured I’d try them out. As far as I can tell they are good quality but to be fair I don’t use them as much as someone who is always building stuff. But from my experience and the price I’m very happy with my purchase so I bought a flush cut and one of their other bits and happy with all of them.
