Create Seamless 12-Sided Joinery and Precise Chamfered Edges
Achieve perfect geometric precision and durable edge detailing with the Freud 40-098 1" Diameter 15-Degree Chamfer Router Bit. While chamfer bits are often used simply to ease sharp corners, this specialized 15-degree profile serves a much more advanced purpose: it is the exact angle required to construct 12-sided polygons (dodecagons) for coopered columns, planters, and decorative multi-sided boxes. By routing a 15-degree chamfer on both mating edges of your stock, the pieces join together to form a flawless 30-degree angle, allowing you to build complex multi-sided projects with ease.
Beyond joinery, this bit adds a clean, modern aesthetic to furniture edges, retaining crisp lines while removing sharp corners that are prone to damage. The bit is crafted with Freud’s high-performance TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide for maximum durability and a razor-sharp finish in hardwood, softwood, plywood, and composites. Protected by the exclusive Red Perma-SHIELD® Non-Stick Coating, it resists heat, corrosion, and pitch buildup. With a robust 1/2" shank and precision balancing, it ensures stable, chatter-free operation in both hand-held and table-mounted routers.
Key Features
- Multi-Sided Joinery: Specifically designed to cut 15° angles for constructing 12-sided objects.
- Adjustable Chamfer: Vary the size of the chamfer easily by adjusting bit height or fence position.
- TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide: Proprietary blend ensures a longer cutting life and superior edge quality.
- Perma-SHIELD® Coating: Non-stick red coating protects against friction, heat, and resin adhesion.
- Versatile Application: Perfect for easing edges, decorative detailing, and coopered joinery.
- Wide Compatibility: Safe for use on both hand-held routers and router tables.
- Precision Balanced: Computer-balanced to minimize vibration for a smooth, professional finish.

Pro-Tip: When building multi-sided projects like columns or planters, accuracy is key. Always cut a few test pieces from scrap material first. Dry-fit them together on a flat surface to ensure your 15-degree angles align perfectly to form a closed 12-sided circle before cutting your expensive project stock.
