Chamfer bits

Mostly I hand chamfer. But once in a while I use a set something like this:
Accusize Industrial Tools 6 Flute H.S.S. Machine Countersink, 8 pc, 82 Degree, Precision Ground, 0206-1018 https://a.co/d/9lzbW7h
My own set is an old grizzly kit I got 20 odd years ago. It had 4 different size bits in it.
Depending on the size you need, you could also mount a lathe center drill in the drill chuck of your mill.

Playing.
Scrounged some 2.25 square steel bar when I was taking the axles off the propane tank (they won't fill it if it can be moved)
My first thought was some not so fuzzy dice because I need the practice on the mill and I was looking to chamfer the edges.
Who doesn't need a pair of 2 1/4 pound dice swinging from the mirror?
If your looking for a well defined 45 deg. chamfer, you will need a dedicated 45 deg. endmill. I have one in my little hogger set but have not used it yet.

No real requirements on the chamfer size.
Like I said, just playing.
If you wanna play, Chris at "Clickspring" on YouTube has made D-bit chamfering bits out of drill rod. I've been thinking of giving this a try just for kicks.
