TEMO Carbide Downcut Inlay Router Bit 1/32 Inch Diameter

This bit does what I need it to do. You must be careful to not overload the pressure when cutting.

Arrived the day after I ordered. The set of bits is exactly what I needed.

I used the 1/16 downcut bits to cut mahogany and maple. The attached pictures show the mahogany, all of which was cut with the 1/16 bit. The maple was largely cut with a 1/8 bit from a different maker, but the small holes in its center were cut with this 1/16 bit. I couldnt be happier with the results. No tearout or chipping at all. I ran the bit at 18,000 RPM and 36 IPM.

Compared to a high priced but that broke as soon as I used it. This but has worked great and still sharp

Used it for some 5mm depth detail work around small lettering in tigerwood. I bought this bit simply to experiment with and based on how thin it is I was expecting to break it immediately. I was very conservative on speeds and feeds on my Shapeoko CNC, and successfully completed my first job. A useful bit added to my collection!

Pleased

I ordered three of these bits given their price and that I mill a lot of items so its understandable I can go through them quickly. Unfortunately, I feel I broke a record by breaking all 3 within 24 hours of them being delivered. 2 broke almost immediately during milling jobs while one was able to actually complete a job, but it eventually broke immediately on the following job. I am cutting exotic wood species and actually had success with these very same bits and had one that lasted me for about half a year. I am very careful with my equipment and I tend to configure jobs to run at a more cautious level, but even those parameters are too intense for these week bits. These are the most unreliable mills I have ever used. I will be demanding a refund for these weak, faulty products. Do not order these!

wish I would have paid more attention to how short the cutting area was

This is my favorite bit. I use it on my CNC to cut small stuff with a great amount of detail with minimal sanding. These don’t break unless I do something dumb, like dropping them or forgetting to switch the router on...

Excellent bit, been using it with my x-carve for multiple engravings and they all come out crisp and clean. I accidentally plunged the Z-axis in too deep and had thought it wouldve snapped but surprisingly it didnt. Im writing this review for that reason alone as I was pretty much prepared to purchase another bit but like i said, the bit did not break.
