SpeTool Down Cut Spiral Router Bit 1/16 inch Cutting Diameter with 1/4 inch Shank End Mill for Woodwork CNC Machine Tools

I normally love SpeTools because they pride themselves on quality but this bit broke the first time I used it in soft wood. I have been a woodworkers for 7 years now so I am positive it was not user error. I am very disappointed as I was not able to receive a refund.

Well made and just what I required to finish a project I was completing with my daugther

I like to cut signs (and intricate pieces of signs) with my Shaper Origin, and this bit can get into sharp corners much more effectively than other bits (like the 1/8th or 1/4 inch). I’ve started working with 2.7mm plywood, and this bit can easily cut it in one pass, and as it’s a down cut bit, it seems to minimize the sanding needed on the top edge (which is a big deal for me). The bit is a little pricey, but this far I’d say “Worth every penny!”

Bit was as described and worked perfectly! Sharp and smooth cut

Bought this to use on softer woods lile cedar and thin ⅛ birch plywood. Cuts very well and clean and has a half inch long cutting depth. I messed up and snapped it on some quarter inch birch though, I think it may have gotten gummed up with two sided tape holding my project down. I will order another one however because this bit was great.

love the material and excellent customer service! these are great! and for a good price! I use them a lot for my small cnc projects, my personal fav is the compressions bits! wow! there amazing and strong!

It started off doing well and I thought it was going to be a winner, but about 3/4 the way through the project it snapped. And yes I had the plunge rate and feed rate set accordingly.

This tool bit is being used on my Shapeoko CNC router, for small detail cut.

I have used this bit on several jobs so far and if has worked as well as a higher priced bit that I recently dropped and broke. This bit is about 14 dollars less expensive and does a great job, although the feed rate is not as fast as the other bit.

Nothing…… it broke within 5 minutes
