Up Down Compression Spiral Flush Trim Router Bit, 1/4 Inch Shank Solid Carbide Flush Trim Router Bits CNC Spiral Bit with Nano Coating by EANOSIC

It cut 3/4” plywood like it was butter. Make sure the guide board is secure and long enough and dont try to handle it without one. If the wood is hard, the router will pull away from you and slice quickly into places you dont want to cut. I made that mistake trying to finish the last inch to the corner of the work table I was trying to give a straighter edge. Instead it pulled itself out of my control just long enough to make a deep gouge before I could pull it away. I just didnt expect it to cut so well. But the reason I tried it first on that was because I didnt really care much about damage, since its just a work surface that will get beat up anyway, so no big deal and it kept me from making that mistake on the shelves I was making. Not sure about how long it will last, but at least new its pretty good for the price.

This up down compression spiral flush trim router bit is a great finish bit. Its small size makes it much easier to maneuver in tight places or for intricate work. I am a little new at getting the right bit for what I want to do, but this seems to be a sharp bit for smooth cuts with almost no tear out. This makes this a great bit for me.

Hmm, well this has a good cutting edge, seems to make a perfect edge, no wobble in the bit and good longevity. Good buy when compared to the same bit I got from HD at a better price.

I used this bit for the first time to clean up the edges of a CNC carving. I purposely cut too shallow with the CNC into a piece of walnut, then cut the carving out with a jab saw. This to me provided the worst possible scenario I could come up with regarding the wood. Hard wood with jagged overhangs that have been stressed already, and a curved edge. As for the router, I used a cordless handheld DeWalt 1/4 in router. Its large in the hand so kinda hard to hold and it is easier to accidentally tilt than a larger router. Then I flushed the corners holding the router in one hand and the carving in the other. This was the worst possible scenario I was willing to tolerate. I got the best results I have ever gotten from any flush trim bit - with the worst conditions I could come up with. There was zero tearout, and perfect alignment. Look at the pictures, they speak for themselves. I hate to write gushing reviews, but this is a standout tool that radically outperforms every other version of the tool I have ever used. Cant recommend this bit highly enough.

As it is an off brand from Amazon, I dont have high hopes for longevity. That being said, for a hobbyist the price is right and it works great so far. Only time will tell on durability.

This ball bearing router bit came very sharp and did a great job cutting veneer with minimal chipping or tear out. The ball bearing allows you to precisely follow a template or guide to make perfect, repeatable trims/cuts. My only observation is that for the price, this single bit was a little expensive. Overall though, it performs as advertised and did the job for me.

I have a triple fluted flush cut 1/4 inch router bit that I usually use in my construction business. I have never used a spiraled flush cut bit, so I thought it might be fun to try out. I used this spiraled flush cut bit it my trim router at first and the bit had no problems cutting 3/4 pine trim boards. However, I did notice that the cut was a little wavy because the trim router has a small base plate so I tried it in my full sized router with a 5ish plate. The cut came out much straighter and I would recommend using a bigger base plate for it unless it doesnt matter if there are a few waves in the cut. It cut through 5/8ths OSB plywood and didnt leave any burrs on the surface. There were some on the bottom of the plywood but I assume that is from the spiral moving downward. I like the fact that the bit is only 1/4 in diameter the whole length and that it doesnt have to take out as much material as my 1/4 fluted bit that is 1/2 at the cutting blades. So far... I really like this bit and am hoping that it stays sharp for a long time so I can use it for many years.

I have a couple of bits from this company, and I’m impressed with the quality. This particular 1/4” bottom bearing flush cut bit is a useful size for following tight patterns or for trimming flush to another piece. You do need to make sure your pattern is accurate and smooth as any imperfections will show, given the small bearing diameter. I’d consider this a tool for precision work, rather than hogging out the edges of countertops- solid carbide is not for forcing, and the 1/4” diameter means you need to take it slow. If you have never experienced the improved quality of cut from a good spiral ground router bit, you should give this a try.

Combination up-down compression spiral trim bits are wonderful for using on material that is laminated top and bottom. It is always best to cut from the laminated surface towards the substrate in order to avoid chipping the laminate. This bit cuts the two services towards the center which is ideal when you want to avoid chipping both sides of your material. I use this for trimming melamine shelves or plywood that has a nice hardwood veneer on both sides. The bit is nicely made and well packaged. I would recommend it not just for CNC but for any edge trimming with a router.

Bit works great, stays sharp
