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)

This 1/8 cutting 1/4 shank ball nose bit came in a standard end mill case that protected it during transit. The case was nicely labeled so you dont have to. The nano-blue coating covered the top end of the bit evenly and cleanly. The ball nose left a nicely rounded bottom on the groove. The bit cut easily and dispelled chips well due to the up-cut flute design. This bit seems well designed and stayed sharp through my testing on both soft and hardwoods and I expect to get a good long life out of this bit.

The quality is fantastic and I use 1/4 more than any other and do tend to wear on them. These hold an edge well and have been put to great use cranking out holiday gifts. I cant think of an argument to pay more when this quality stands up to other really expensive options Ive tried. Update: This bit continues to hold an edge well after dozens of operations through hardwood at pretty aggressive settings of speeds. These are a fantastic workhorse bit to use.

This is a great end mill for doing 3d cutting. Makes nice clean cuts leaving a nice finish. The price makes this even a better value. Time will tell but so far this has been my goto bit for 3d cuts. Comes packaged well and arrived quickly. I will buy more of these bits

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

This is an excellent bit that will help you to get the cnc results your after time and time again! Pros: 1. Excellent engineering minimizes chance of shearing 2. Bluing helps with rigidity and overall performance 3. Reasonably priced 4. Durable and long-lasting bit Cons: 1. The bit doesnt come with any markings, making identification more difficult when not in its case.

This is 1/4 inch Shank, 1/8 inch cutting Ball Nose End Mill CNC router bit with Nano Blue Coating. Its a Spiral CNC Bit for Wood Cut, Carving, or Engraving. Im using it in my CNC machine for wood carving. Its being used in a Makita Trim Router and it works very well. Ive used it on a few projects now and they look good with just a little sanding. Nice bit.

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

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

I bought the 1/8” cutting diameter bit, and used it with my router and DIY circle jig to cut a perfect, 11” diameter circle in 1/2” plywood. The down cut left no splinters on the top side of the plywood, and very few on the bottom side. I do not know how long it will last, but it worked very well on its maiden voyage.

Works great
