- Check out this awesome little $88 tool that i found on Amazon thats totally going to change the work that comes out of my shop. Adding a uniform chamfer like this really adds value to finished parts and helps speed up prep and finish time. I cant believe I didnt have one until recently! Before someone asks, no I was no paid to make this video. I have zero affiliation with this company, I just love a great deal on a useful tool!

Keep a strong magnet in a plastic bag near your work to catch the metal chips. The bag makes removing the chips from the magnet a snap.
I like the evolution magnet stick
Stuff is available though other places other than Amazon don’t forget about your little guys. Nice job as always thanks
yeah amazon sucks. outside of the US i don't know anyone who uses them
Their becoming more expensive with all the individual sellers. Most buy in stores then charge super mark up price because Amazon says they can sell for way more
Amazon is used so he can get affiliate links and make money
Are they tho? Can’t tell you how many times I’ve been on a pointless goose chase for something one would see and easily get on Amazon.
Plus Amazon is a bunch of left wing socialists.
Basically a router for metal. That really does a great job. Thanks for the linfo
Interesting, for those without compressed air, using carbide inserts on a router could work well too! I have no idea if it exists but assume it should :D
@@thebibidu you could probably just use a standard router chamfer bit as most have carbide edges, but without replaceable edges that'll get pricey.
@@thebibidu just gotta use the proper RPMs for metal vs wood
I bought one of these a while back and you are correct, it's great.
I just ordered one and have a great project to give it a try on.
Thanks CHRIS. Ordered today. The tool will arrive in May. The spare carbide inserts will arrive first week of July! Both from Amazon. Made the decision after watching your demo. Thanks!
If you gotta wait 3 weeks or more it's coming from China... Do the math...
I’ve had mine for 4 years, it’s brilliant. The bearings are available at any bearing store, the cutter tips are available, mine lasted for ages though. It’s for steel and soft metal only, don’t use it on stainless.
They make carbide for stainless cutting, Its a matter AS usual TO NOT LET YOUR TOOL WORK HARDEN THE STAINLESS, keep your feed aggressive and slightly less rpm
Sad to hear not with stainless steel.
Why would a carbide tool not work on stainless?
@@AlessioSangalli One of your commenters replied to you not to use it on stainless - don't now why.
@@raydreamer7566 no I understand, I was asking the dude that said that
I work at a tool making shop and we make end mills and drill bits for GE and the medical industry. these are a cool device for a metal worker.
Hell, now they're down to 49 bucks on Amazon w/o new cutters and about 62 with a new set inc. The always amusing side, of cheaper tools found on Amazon, is seeing how many different brand names and colors they can make the same exact friggin tool!... This tool definitely doesn't disappoint in that department!
Thanks for showing this, I’m going to buy one, didn’t know they existed! Going to make some nice strong fillet welds
Same here. I didn't know they existed either. Looks like it'll be very useful.
Pretty cool little tool. We use a large handheld that can do around 1/2" and a self propelled on a stand that can do I believe up to 3/4". This would make a nice addition to the set.
Learned about 2 good tools - including the magnetic chuck, seems good for collecting chips as well as holding work.
Dirk Devos thanks for showing us this great tool
We used these cutter bits at work for years. They hold up well. Garr Tool in Alma Michigan is where we used to purchase them. Looks like a pretty clean chamfer that tool recreates.
Very neat. I think I need one! Hot tip for content makers: If you find yourself saying "like I said", don't. Either cut our the repetition or don't flag it with "like I said". Same goes for all forms of "what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna". Like "what you wanna do is you wanna."
Great little tool Just one tip learn your 10 X tables then you have the bulk of metric problems solved if the majority of the world can ; YOU CAN. A retired toolmaker from Australia
Strong little metal router 💪👍
The bit that got me.... "I don't work in metric" 😂... Yeah.. Your an engineer.. An American Engineer !!!
1/8ths only!
Isn't metric just common sense?!
That is an awesome tool- I have seen the floor standing version for cleaning large plates but never this handy hand held tool- excellent for anyone making stuff that has more than an 1/8th inch thickness
Nice little router for metal.
Thank you for the review and found a new tool to add to the collection
I didn't even know that this existed. I know that there are very expensive electric version off this tool but not this. Thanks for the the review!
Great chamfer from that tool and worth the price .. Great video Chris .
I see it as not just as a finishing tool but a prep tool for butt welds. Quick easy chamfer , faster and neater than grinding.
It would work great for prepping pipe for butt welding.
Exactly, i am thinking about this use. Thanks to the Algorithm of RUclips that recommended this video to me!
Yes, that's exactly what I thought even before he showed the pipe that I commonly work with and but weld
that's the first thing I thought of... I've used a grinder on many pipe ends... this would have been amazing to use
you change the bearing for a small brass piece, stick a small disc behind and you hold the bearing with a sunken machine screw. Bit of blue loctite, don't gorilla into the bottom but just let the brass slightly rotate.. :)
These cutters typically are also double sided, so you would get 6 cutting edges per cutter. Just a thought and you might check. Zip~
These look like TCMT inserts based on the Amazon picture, so they'd be single sided (because of the 7º relief angle) .. granted Amazon pictures can tell 1000 lies :)
Been using a grinder to do this for years, didn’t know these existed until a coworker asked to borrow it after looking at what I was working on…. His face when I handed him the grinder heheh. Ended up googling it and found this vid, definitely useful tool for inside corner bevels.
Just because you can never have too many sources for replacement parts, that little bearing is also found in 3D printer parts very regularly, especially around motors and extruders. You should be able to get 10 in a pack for a couple bucks.
Great tip! Thank you!
Yes but, those low quality bearings won't last long at 30,000 rpm.
5 minutes in and the decision has been made. I'm getting one.
I actually ordered 2... The second one as a small thank you gift for a guy helping me with the body work of my car build. What a great and unique gift. I will probably order more just for this reason!
Think twice. It's very noisy and high pitched.
@@ildefonsogiron4034 Too late for thinking twice.
@@ildefonsogiron4034 Try putting a gag on it.....?! Lol !
This is just another Aliexpress tool you can buy the bearing for 20 cents and packs of cutters for about $2-5. There are tons of these types of specialty tools on Aliexpress because china applies mass production to EVERYTHING, so it makes sense to have a specific tool for every step of the way to make things as fast as possible and maximize output.
Yep, just search "Mini Pneumatic Chamfering Machine" on Ali for them.
The bearing is probably the same size of bearing that I see used in router bits. See if that will work.
Awesome! I never knew about this tool!
Milwaukee needs to make this on there 12V Fuel platform. Air tools are so freakin loud and the hose is annoying.
No thanks. You need serious PPE anyway and battery tools are over expensive
@@AlessioSangalli I would gladly pay the premium of cordless over an air tool.
I like my corded Milwaukee tools...
I like turtles
@Bow to me faithfully Bow to me splendidly that is only relevant if you use such tool for such lengths of time, thousands of hours, that energy cost becomes more expensive than batteries. In such case, the tool couldn't be cordless anyway. I understand if you say that a compressor has a higher non recurring cost or it takes valuable space in the shop, but the argument about energy cost to me seems very weak.
"I dont work in metric, so im just gonna eyeball it". As an engineer in Europe i find that hillarious :D
Kidding aside, great review.. Kinda want one for the home shop
I'm not convinced that scale is even metric; it appears that it may simply be a decimal / percentage of the max cut of the tool?
Just ignorant. This statement is why I will not like/subscribe.
I get a rash every time I touch anything metric. .... We are the Americans,,,and when we were using all SAE standards we are the guys that left 2 vehicles on the moon. Now we have gone metric we can't even make a decent manual turret mill that doesn't cost 4 times what it's worth. .
Looks like it could be used to add a beveled mag well on an AR-15 . Also the bearing on a router bit would probably work for a replacement.
This. Changed. My. Life.
Measure the dimension of thr bearing with a Micrometer and order from almost any bearing supplier.
Or take off the bearing to see if it's marked! Too many posts saying "it looks like..."
Or, just ask for a 683ZZ, as specified on the parts list (that came with mine).
Look on the face of the bearing. One side or the other. There should be some numbers you can get an exact replacement based off those numbers.
I’ll have to look closely at it and see! If I find a replacement bearing I’ll post the link to it in the description too. Under heavy use I could see the bearing failing
Thanks for the video.. I hadn't seen these before, I like how it dresses up your gussets and mounting plates, it ad's that little something extra... so I ordered one too, cant wait to give it a try. I did find what looks like the same one, in LA California on eBay for like $38 with Free S&H
That bearing is probably the same as my wood router bits.
Beat me to it.
I instantly wondered what kind of cut it would make in wood.
@@markkollman870 pretty well I'm sure since rpms are probably around the same but ya can't take as big of a bit with his router as a normal wood router but for that little chamfered it does produce is probably pretty good on wood just not as adjustable
You can also use a router table to do work like this.
This tool will save a lot of time...Love the adjustable settings...great for pre-welding small projects...Thank You
The bearing, more than likely, can be found among router supplies.
Nifty. It's probably overkill for this application, but you could probably also use it to chamfer edges before welding a butt joint.
Sometimes I do that actually, it’s nice on square tube when your doing a lot of it
Great review and product BUT I wish people didn't promote Amazon as it's killing a lot of local businesses that have been their for us for generations. Small local business also pay city taxes for the police and fire departments we need. Just saying.
I know, and depended heavily on Amazon and eBay even before COVID. I'm trying to break my habit, but it's so EASY I don't have time for second thoughts!
@@firstmkb I hear what you are saying Kevin. It's what everyone says. But they are also already saying, 'To bad our town can't have more police fire and amenities. To bad we had to close a school. To bad China is so rich that their communist dictatorship, is eating up Asia. But hey, I got what I wanted the next day.' And when your kids asked what happened to small town America, you can tell them, "I didn't have time." just saying Kevin. I mean no disrespect, but this is exactly what you are saying here. Be better. Because you can :) The buck stops with us all, not any political party. No one is going to help us until we realize, we are all in this together.
It like a mini air router only for metal pretty smooth
I am a lifelong machinist and fabricator...I love tools that make life easier! This is a great deal! Liked, and subscribed!
great little find and recommendation
what a fantastic piece of kit. I wanted to see if it was a copy of a higher quality tool, i believe i found the source. Nitto Circuit Beveler CB-01 check it out being nitto its probably made in japan
It looks very nice at 7 times the price!
May be able to get those bearings from a company called MLCS they sell router bits and they should have replacement bearings and several sizes
You can use router wheel bearings to replace it I'm sure.
Nice find Chris. I hope you’re having a blast up at Jimmy’s.
I’d like a little router for metal. Cool
Purchased one using your links. Awesome tool and great video showing what it can do. Cheers and THANKS CHRIS. 😎
Thank you man! You will get a TON of use out of this thing... Just watch those chips, little daggers...
You can buy router collets that will work
Cool! I may get one after I upgrade my air-compressor. :)
Thanks!!
The bearing is commonly used in aviation. The part number is on the side of the bearing you’ll need take a cell photo and enlarge it and you can read it and order on Amazon. Just saying 😎
The key to keeping the inserts last longer is heat and not hitting sharp inconsistent edges or hard mill scale. It’s the same insert used for lath work or milling. You usually use coolant in lath work so keep them cool and they will last longer.
it's not about "heat" as much as lubrication
@@chronokoks that's what my wife says,,
That is not alltogether true. Insert tooling either want flood coolant or no coolant. If you use just some coolant the thermal shock will make the inserts crack.
Coolant on a hand held carbide tool??
No, I did not say to use coolant on a handheld tool. I said the key is to keep them cool. I was simply saying that mills and lathes use the same inserts and they use coolant to extend the insert life.
This tool would save my company hours opon hours with our current methods. Thanks alot Chris ❤
It’s already saved me time!!
@@MakeEverything - hi can you tell me what name of carbide cutter , i saw 100 tools on amazon no one like your ,thanks
@@MakeEverything - i found it
@@thev5140 Well??? Spit it out man.
Nice video and tool looks awesome but living in NZ this tool works out to be $120nzd + inserts when its $40nzd die grinder that could be modified or as many have done just use a router with carbide inserts lol.
Def on my bucket list if i don't end up making one
That pilot bearing looks like a standard size for router bits. The screw on end of the cutting tip should be removable to let you change the bearing. ✌
Good catch! I haven’t looked too closely at it but I’d guess you are right!
@@MakeEverything That's what RUclips is all about to me. I made a 2×72 grinder with help from videos which would have been a real bear without them. ✌
Crap, now I have to go out and get another tool! Ty
Replacement bearings available with router bits and equipment.
It would be good practice to check the bearing and cutting screws before usage
You can get a bearing from McMaster- Carr
I think they have everything I need except for food.
Almost didn't bother watching this with the clickbait title, but that is a nice little tool that I didn't know existed, thanks!
Same here!
It’s RUclips it’s all clickbait titles
@@snackin4335 for the scrub channels maybe. I'm here for information, not BS
I'm curious if it can be purchased somewhere else? other than Amazon because I will never deal with Amazon ever again.
EBay has them
Why not Amazon?
@@mikefinto4048 Thanks I will look into it.
@@tabcobra Because Amazon closed my account for no reason, and while I still had transactions pending. when I called them the dumbass that I talked to said he didn't know why. and that there wasn't anything he could do about it. and eBay is the next one on the chopping block no doubt.
Lol
great video, I am purchasing mine now
Thank you! Never seen that before
It looks like a great little tool. I “play” in wood as well as metal. Has anyone used it for chamfering wood pieces? I made a chamfering plane, which works well. But this tool might work even better. As for all you metric guys…. Get a life and leave us “inchers” alone!
Those cutters are machine lathe inserts. Probably could use different ones and even better quality
Thoughts on buying the bit and using it in a router? Anyone know what kind of rpm it runs at and what the shaft on that bit looks like? Just asking because I already have a router and my compressor doesn't have the cfm's to run that.
I use a small router on aluminum.
Also ear plugs and ear muffs.
Very cool! I wonder if they sell an insert bit like this with a 1/4” shank that will fit a woodworking router?
I wonder! Worth checking out!
Thats a great idea but if it's like most woodworking tools they run too high an rpm to use on metal. If it was me I'd compare the rpm ratings before I bought them.The other thing is should you give the metal a spritz of cutting oil first?
Not an "insert" at all. It's an insert milling cutter and looks like an integral part of the shaft. .... Metal working tooling is worlds apart from woodworking. .... Fact is the inserts I see on woodworking tools look like they are actually re-purposed machine tool inserts (marked up a couple hundred percent)
you rock dude i just ordered two! thanks for your post
You rock dude ? What a tosser
I’ve had about every sheet metal working tool over my 50+ years in the business . This one is a nice quick grabbing tool that is already set up waiting to be used. I’ll give it a try.
the bearing on the end looks like one you'd see in the wheel hubs of hobby grade RC's.
Coatings can make a difference between inserts many grades are good for this.
TiN good for 10 series steel
What a great little bevler!! Looks like it works great. Thanks for sharing!!
This tool is used 0.2mm chamber
If you can find brake lathe cutters that fit, you can flip them over so you get 6 cutting sides
The geometry in which these are mounted is of a positive style thus not possible to flip over.
But it should be a standard T-insert, just need to specify the size, thickness and relief angle.
Nice tool!
Apparently you have never used a router those bearings are available for standard router bits
That looks exactly like a router bearing... I don't know if it is or not? I worked in a cabinet shop for 5 years. The ONLY oil we would use on our router bearings was Marvel Mystery Oil. It's the only oil that could stand up to the high RPM. Marvel Mystery Oil mixed with Motorkote, should prolong your bearings lifetime exponential!!!
That barring looks to be the same as what is on router bits.
Well my order is in. Got me for the mag base and extra cutters too. You find the coolest tools. Thanks Wish I had the mag base when I was making all these blacksmithing tools.
You got the extra cutters to? the Amazon page the link takes you/me to says "out of stock the last two days?
Cant seem to find the part number (ZA113) elsewhere on amazon either. When you get the cutters can you shoot me a reply with any other #'s or barcodes?
@@fastylep.3240 I got them threw the link. I think everything is back ordered. Not going to receive it until June.
@@Uncle_Bucks_Forge Amazon is just a convenient (Liberal/leftist) store front.....
Surely someone else more deserving could serve you?
At the very least look for 'made in Taiwan'.
adding it to the LIST!!
Great video. A lot of information and content for an 11 minute video. A little repetitive but some people need to hear things twice..
Thank you! Yeah it’s a simple tool doing a simple task. But you know if I didn’t show it doing a piece of tubing or pipe someone would ask “if it could do it” hah!
Post precise dimensions of the bearing, ID, OD, width of inner race and I’ll post the bearing number and maybe a source.
I'm an old fart with a small shop (mostly for wood) and you have no idea how much I hate deburring with a file... Ordered.
how about chatter breaking carbides, it seems like you can hold the part in your hand without any trouble
So far so good but easing into the cut would make a difference if your taking a heavy cut
Chatter breaking carbides, I think you mean the asymmetric flutes distance on an endmill, which will not let harmonics to develop. With a tool like this, where you insert your inserts into set slots, there is nothing you can do. Does it make sense?
For replacing the bearing, measure the dimensions of the bearing and visit a local RC car hobby shop.
Good idea!
So it is basically a hand router for metal...holy crap how have I never seen this thing? Absolute game changer.
holy shit, i need one!
🤔 I once used a wood router with carbide router bits. On metal for a similar purpose
I used my table saw with a cheap carbide blade to cut a grid into cast iron to make lapping plates. Blade chatter kept the grooves from being super sharp, but no problems other than taking two days for my sphincter to relax!
I want one!!!
I have been thinking about a SP Air Corporation SP-7252F. Surprisingly I don't think I've seen these cheap China versions yet. Might be worth a try rather than paying over $300 for the SP version which is also sold under another name I can think of right now.
The bearing looks like one off a dremmel router bit or maybe an 1/8” router bit.
woodworking bit have them bearings
Thanks for the demo. I really like this tool, so I have to get one now.
I was making an exhaust flange for my Japanese tractor. Trying to do it SAE I was coming up with really unmanageable measurements. Then it occurred to me, this thing is metric. The bolt holes are 50 mm on center. That only took me one half hour to figure out, sigh
metric on a japanese tractor? who'daa thunk it
