TEMO Carbide Downcut Inlay Router Bit 1/32 Inch Diameter

Compared to a high priced but that broke as soon as I used it. This but has worked great and still sharp

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.

Got these to do some detail work on my 3018 Prover and they do seem to work as expected. I have used the 1/8, 1/16 and 1/32 so far and they all cut smoothly. Note I am being extremely conservative on cutting depth and feed rates as Im not ready to test the limits of these, especially the smaller ones. I program to cut the main areas with the larger bits then come back and do increasingly tighter profiles with the smaller bits and it seems to work well. Am cutting on red oak right now and they cut smooth and clean.

Junky bit. Get what you paid for, I guess.

Arrived the day after I ordered. The set of bits is exactly what I needed.

I reduced all the speeds and feeds specifically for this bit to make sure it won’t break in the stock, but unfortunately, it’s very fragile and broke once it touch the stock before even the machine starts moving. I don’t recommend this bit, waste of money and time

I used the 1/16 downcut bits to cut mahogany and maple. The attached pictures show the mahogany, all of which was cut with the 1/16 bit. The maple was largely cut with a 1/8 bit from a different maker, but the small holes in its center were cut with this 1/16 bit. I couldnt be happier with the results. No tearout or chipping at all. I ran the bit at 18,000 RPM and 36 IPM.

This bit does what I need it to do. You must be careful to not overload the pressure when cutting.

Working as expected

These work great. I use these on my Shapeoko cnc on wood signs and I’ve yet to wear one out.
