TEMO Carbide Downcut Inlay Router Bit 1/32 Inch Diameter

Great Bit!!! For the money you can’t beat it. You have to be mindful of DOC and feed rates but it’s a 1/16” bit. I bought two more

We really needed this size

Pleased

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!

Working as expected

Cuts efficiently, and cleanly. Minimal heat generation. Sharp and precise. Update 10/17/2020 This is the second one broken, although cutting speeds and feed rates were well within range. Not sure about the product anymore.

This is a great set of bits, perfectly graduated for inlay work. The spiral downcut leaves a beautifully smooth bottom & Plunges like butter. These are solid carbide bits and work best at high speed with a slow feed rate. I have paid $30 for a single bit, so this set is a real value.

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

Great bit, work perfect for my fine detail project on my CNC router, used slow feed and speed with perfect down-cut quality.

... but it broke right at the shank essentially as soon as it touched wood for the first time, before it had a chance to move in the x or y. This was just my experience and I have not used this brand in the past, so maybe it was a one-off thing. With a cutting diameter this small, Im sure there are a lot of breakage issues due to user error with improper feeds and speeds. However, I am probably more conservative on F&S than I need to be, especially with specialty bits like this. So I would need to test a few more to determine where the issue lies. Unfortunately, I dont have any more of these right now, so I may try another brand and see how that goes. I will update this review if I get another one and have a chance to see it in action.
