POWERTEC 71333 Router Bits Solid Brass Inlay Kit | For 1/4 Templates for High RPM Routing | Includes 1/8 Carbide Router Bit/Cutter + 1/4 Shank, Universal Bushing, Retainer Nut, Collar, Alignment Pin

Bit broke after one use was cutting a pocket and did not even get to complete making it.

Fresh out of the box I tried a practice bow tie on some scrap plywood before I dug into the walnut table I’m making and the bit wouldn’t cut, it just smoked and burned the surface. That’s a hot ember in the picture... don’t waster your time of money on this.

The collars threading broke right away

I havent used this yet but it looks to be very well made. Now just to plan a project to use it on.

I have a plunge router, but never attempted to produce any inlays. had need to create a butterfly/bowtie inlay to further strengthen a cracked joint that would be subject to stress.. this kit does the job. made a single test run. found it to function as advertised. moved on to the actual project. worked well there, too. somewhat limited in the depth of the inlay and patch by the length of the 1/8 cutting tool. that is probably for the best. too long and the tool could flex under load producing inaccurate cuts on the male or female parts.

This inlay set is a 1/4 set. It is not appropriate for the bowtie template kit that it was recommended for.

This works better than anticipated. I love the detail of the o-ring to keep the expansion ring in place. I did not expect that perfect fit of the bow ties.

I wanted to make 2 inlays and didnt want to spend the money for a more expensive brand. After multiple practice inlays I made this in black cherry and walnut. It worked perfectly. The kit included a centering pin thats missing on many kits. I am quite happy with the kit and the results.

Its broke during the first use. DONT buy this.

Router bit and bushing don’t fit. Waste of money.
