POWERTEC 71333 Router Bits Solid Brass Inlay Kit | For 1/4 Templates for High RPM Routing | Includes 1/8 Carbide Router Bit/Cutter + 1/4 Shank, Universal Bushing, Retainer Nut, Collar, Alignment Pin

I have a plunge router, but never attempted to produce any inlays. had need to create a butterfly/bowtie inlay to further strengthen a cracked joint that would be subject to stress.. this kit does the job. made a single test run. found it to function as advertised. moved on to the actual project. worked well there, too. somewhat limited in the depth of the inlay and patch by the length of the 1/8 cutting tool. that is probably for the best. too long and the tool could flex under load producing inaccurate cuts on the male or female parts.

This inlay set is a 1/4 set. It is not appropriate for the bowtie template kit that it was recommended for.

Fresh out of the box I tried a practice bow tie on some scrap plywood before I dug into the walnut table I’m making and the bit wouldn’t cut, it just smoked and burned the surface. That’s a hot ember in the picture... don’t waster your time of money on this.

Works good. I keep it clean and sharp and gives me good results. Not quite as good as Amana or Whiteside but is great for light/ occasional use.

I havent used this yet but it looks to be very well made. Now just to plan a project to use it on.

Dont waste your money broke after second use

Bit broke after one use was cutting a pocket and did not even get to complete making it.

Router bit and bushing don’t fit. Waste of money.

Picked this kit up to try my hand at inlays and works great and fun to use. If interested in making inlays then this is good starter.
