Without setting anything up on the mill at all, a nice shop made tool like this one will do the job quick, easy, and nice:

What kind of accuracy and repeat-ability are you looking for? I just usually take a fly cutter and grind a 45 degree tool bit and have at it. Couple of other ways, angle your vise or make a vee block for the stock to reside in.
 
Hi Guys,

I'm sure that some of you have seen the picture of my Norman patent tool holder, and the nice rounded edges that it has.
Well I used a woodworking carbide router cutter ! I also use the V shaped ones for deburing and countersinking the edge of large holes.

Searching ‘single angle inverted dovetail cutter’ and ‘single angle chamfer’ did the trick and filtered out all wood router bits. I ended up going with an indexable set as I could use them for some other stuff I need coming up. Thanks!

Don't know if Shars' "blackfriday" code will work on eBay purchases. But you can get the same set for $47.70 (70¢ more), plus the discount (and probably comparable shipping) by going to:

I just bought the set, plus some extra inserts.
