Foos Straight Carbide Router bits - 1/4” Shank - USA Veteran Owned (1/4 Cutting Diameter)

I got this bit to replace a name brand bit that went from new to dull in a single project. I was naturally concerned about performance of a “cheap” bit, but am tired of even expensive bits going dull relatively quickly. I used this bit this evening to batch cut 72 slots in some hardwood and it was cutting as true and clean on the last slot as it was when I made the first cut. I am impressed that it outperformed an identical name brand bit! I will definitely be looking to this brand for other bits as well!

My hubby loves the router bits! They cut through the wood so easily and hold up very well. Happy to purchase from a veteran owned company, my husband is also a veteran. Thank you for your service!

Good price doesn’t last long on oak lumber

Using this on the CNC for aluminum and aluminum composite and it works great. I dont see any premature wear, but were only in a few hours on this bit. Ill keep this review updated as we use it more, just hit the Useful button to stay up to date.

Nice router bit but be aware the cutting diameter is not exactly 1/8 inch. The slot it cuts is oversized by 1/128, not much but if you need to be precise this wont work for you!

This bit is exactly what they say it is. I work with wood Moulder knives; this is a good bit and has a unique design.

Used it for designing and making Goovy Boards for use with quilting machines.

These bits do well but pay attention to the measurements. I use these for my CNC and while they can carve well, any depth past 1/2 inch is sketchy. With wood at big box stores mostly sold at 3/4” thick, these would not be ideal for through cuts because the cutting surface just isn’t long enough. I did not mark these down a star for it because they do work, just not the best for what I want it to do.

Good quality at a fair price. Ive only cut a few feet of 1/8 x 1/4dado in Baltic birch so far, but cuts are crisp and bit shows no wear. Ill be checking Foos first for future bit orders. Nice to see a US manufacturer offer such quality and value.

They are sharp and cut nice, but I wish they were longer. Why you ask? Because I use a die grinder with a guide on the threads. I have to put the bit pretty far out to cut plastic with it at the factory.
