This $88 Tool Will Change Your Metal Work Forever!
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 am a lifelong machinist and fabricator...I love tools that make life easier! This is a great deal! Liked, and subscribed!
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
This tool will save a lot of time...Love the adjustable settings...great for pre-welding small projects...Thank You

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.
Wow, very cool indeed. Ideal for weld-prep work also where an accurate chamfer needs to be specified.
Basically a mini air router for metal, awesome prep tool!
I just ordered one and have a great project to give it a try on.
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
What a great little bevler!! Looks like it works great. Thanks for sharing!!
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.
Thanks for the demo. I really like this tool, so I have to get one now.
I had never heard of this tool before but was sold based on the video. Ordered one through Amazon...if you can't trust the "Boots in the field" when they say the product works...who can you trust? Great job...thanks for bringing this item to the attention of so many!!!!
Thank you for the review and found a new tool to add to the collection
Great chamfer from that tool and worth the price .. Great video Chris .

Same here. I didn't know they existed either. Looks like it'll be very useful.
Learned about 2 good tools - including the magnetic chuck, seems good for collecting chips as well as holding work.
So it is basically a hand router for metal...holy crap how have I never seen this thing? Absolute game changer.
adding it to the LIST!!
Nice find Chris. I hope you’re having a blast up at Jimmy’s.
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.
Cool tool and great demonstration from an actual user. Thanks
That would be super handy. Great for finishing edges on projects or use it for weld prep
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!

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.
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.
I agree with what Lee Rattler said perfect for Bevels for welding!
I'm sure glad that I came across this video. There are different camfering tools out there but the ones I have seen are bench mounted so you have to bring the material to the machine. The carbide cutters look like standard TCMT to me. The size is either 1/4" or 3/8" I.C. that stands for inscribed circle. This is the size of a circle that lines up with the three flat sides. The first thing that I would do after purchasing one is look at the bearing number and buy any name brand bearing.
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!
Purchased one using your links. Awesome tool and great video showing what it can do. Cheers and THANKS CHRIS. 😎

The bearing, more than likely, can be found among router supplies.
The bearing is probably the same size of bearing that I see used in router bits. See if that will work.

Based on this review I bought one. You should also. I've found many other applications. Quick, easy, and professional finish.
the bearing on the end looks like one you'd see in the wheel hubs of hobby grade RC's.
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 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
It would be good practice to check the bearing and cutting screws before usage
That tool is very similar to a router bit used for wood working, so you may want to look at either Rockler or Woodcraft for the replacement bearings. Very cool tool. Thank you for sharing. Keep the videos coming.

Nice! Always protect your hearing too. Once you lose hearing it never comes back.
great little find and recommendation
Great video thanks for sharing. Looks to me if you were to chamfer both inside and outside edges of that tube you’d have a fairly decent hole punch for soft thin wood or leather.
I’ve been welding boiler tubes for 20 years and never seen this little slice of heaven. Damn I wish I’d have seen this long ago
