This may sound like an easy question but ... I need to cut a 3/4"
chamfer in a circle cut from 1 1/2" stock. I have a 45 degree bit but
it does not seem to cut a large enough chamfer -- what is the best bit
for this job.

My favoured approach for this would be the table saw. If I didn't
have a table saw, I'd hand plane it. If you have a smaller router,
then you could hog off much of the timber first.

I think he's trying to do this on a curved (circular in fact) stock.
So the tablesaw won't work(*). Even using a plane or spokeshave will
be a little tricky with the change from long to end grain.

The ideal way to do this would be to put the stock in a bowl-turning
lathe, and cut the chamfer with a skew.

I think the idea of using a long straight bit, and either tilting
the router or the stock sounds most likely to work, assuming there's
no lathe available.

it round thru the sawblade...)
