HQMaster Spiral Router Bits Down Cut 1/4 inch Shank Solid Carbide Nano Blue Coated Spiral Downcut CNC Bits End Mill for Wood Cut Carving Engraver (1/8 Cutting Diameter)

Nice carbide router bit, leaves a great finish on all wood types. Stays sharp and cuts very well.

Great value and quality for this ball nose router bit. I have used this for a lot of roughing of 3d models in hardwood. Still sharp as the first time I used it.

Great bit nice and sharp measured to meet specifications. I like the way these bits cut nice and clean.

Skip it, buy a higher quality bit and save the headache.

Got this as a cheap alternative for my CNC for some relief carvings Ive been doing. It works well, havent seen any real issues so far. Im about 5-6 jobs in and still doing its thang so we will see how long it holds up. For now .. for the price ... Its definitely a good bit.

Ive been using this bit in my wooden sign making business and so far it works great and has remained sharp. Ive used it for 3d roughing passes in hardwood and in other applications where a ballnose bit is useful. So far, I havent noticed much difference in the quality of cuts from my more expensive bits. Its amazing to me that you can get quality tooling these days at this price point. These bits would make a great go to bit for production without having to stop to resharpen tooling. I would definitely recommend, and will order more!

Tested in mild steel. The cut was very smooth as the bit is very sharp. Should work well in many materials. After testing I used a 1/8 drill to check the size. The naked eye said it was a little large. Was it runout from my setup ? Bent bit ? Manufacturing defect? I checked with a micrometer and found the bit measured .126 Probably not a really big deal in most cases. I will call it a quality control issue. Or maybe when these are sent to us vine reviewers we get the ones that didn’t pass quality control. Might just be the perfect size for some project.

These inexpensive router bits are great. They cut well for my needs. Im not a professional that uses it everyday but for my occasional use it sharp and cuts clean. The ball upcut works great with my plunge router. Nice to be able to scribe lines in wood beauty panels. Quarter of the cost of premium bits.

While I would prefer a bearing bit (and I ordered one) this bit came within a few days of order and worked just fine for my needs. I needed to duplicate some Plexiglass objects and so set up the bit to travel along the original and cut the part out. My concern was burning the original (without having a bearing guide) but that was not the case and given the correct speed and movement speed this bit worked like a champ and stayed sharp for the duration of my project. I was cutting 1/4 Plexi and while I thought heat might be a problem it seemed to work just fine

Works great
