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

EANOSIC Up-Down Compression Spiral Flush Trim Router Bit Versatile dual ball bearings allow for flush cutting as well as template use. The EANOSIC Up-Down Compression Spiral Flush Trim Router Bit is a versatile and durable tool for template cutting and flush cutting. The 1/4 inch shank and solid carbide construction make it suitable for a wide range of applications from hard and soft wood to plastic. The nano coating on the bit provides added durability and resistance to wear and tear. The unique feature of this router bit is its up-down compression design which helps to compress the material being cut, which results in a smooth and splinter-free finish. This saves a lot of sanding. This router bit is especially great for template cutting projects as it provides a precise and accurate cut every time, following the template perfectly. Exceptional value for the price. EANOSIC makes exceptional router/CNC bits!

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.

I took this little bit out for a spin and was very happy with the results. The pictures are with a piece of 1/2” plywood. I grabbed another piece to use below it to test out the bearing portion of the bit as well, but didn’t look to see that the edge was rough, hence the less than straight cut. This bit left a splinter free cut on both sides of the plywood. It cut quickly through the 1/8” of material I was trimming off. Just keep a few things in mind. This is only a 1/4” bit. Take it easy or you’ll probably snap it. The part of the bit that makes the clean upward cuts (just above the bearing) is small. As in about a 1/4”. You have to have the bit depth adjusted correctly so that the bottom of you board is inside that cutting area or else you’ll be using the downcut portion of the bit and probably get splintering.

This is my second bit from Eanosic and just like my first one I am happy with it. It comes in a nice case for protection, and it is very sharp. It cuts material cleanly and the up down compression leaves nice edges on both the top and bottom as long as you set the bit up correctly. It is not meant to take much material off so you will need to use a bandsaw or jigsaw to cut away most of the material first. I only use it for pattern routing which is what it is meant for. Pay attention to the size of the material you are using because you may need to get a larger bit. I am using it for 3/4 material and it works great. Very happy with this bit.

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 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.

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.

A spiral flush-trim bit such as this is a somewhat newish design that combines features and benefits of both upcut bits and downcut bits. And flush trim means that this bit is designed to follow a pattern along its bearing, to allow the material above the pattern to be cut flush to that pattern. You don’t want to ask a bit such as this to hog off much material; it’s forte is trimming small amounts smoothly even with sheet goods and areas of changing grain direction. So use your saw to cut close to the line, and this bit to just make that last 1/16” tight to the line and smooth. I can’t say that I have past experience with this company, but this bit does a nice job for a very good price and I would buy one of these again. I’ll update this if the bit seems to not hold up well! I hope this review has been helpful to you!

Bit works great, stays sharp

This bit is 1/4 from head to toe. So the bearing is also 1/4. Ive never seen one this small. Who knows how long it will last? Ill update if there are any problems. The blue coating and/or the flute design makes this bit cut very clean! For the few materials I tried, there were no blowouts or chads left hanging on top or bottom! I didnt have any kind of chatter or wobbling that I expected. However with the tiny bearing diameter, it will definitely transfer smaller imperfections from your template to the workpiece. More so than with a 1/2 bearing. This is just a lot easier to work with. I think youll have to be careful not to rely on bit color to tell you when youre making too much heat. You wont see discoloration on this coating. I guess youd have already made way too much heat if your bit was bluing. Best to keep your pass speed under control anyway.
