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

This works better than anticipated. I love the detail of the o-ring to keep the expansion ring in place. I did not expect that perfect fit of the bow ties.

This bit is too big for 14 collet. It measures a metric number bigger than 14. Will not fit think router

Made inlay work simple and quick

Router bit snap seconds after starting to make the cut on my template

I wanted to make 2 inlays and didnt want to spend the money for a more expensive brand. After multiple practice inlays I made this in black cherry and walnut. It worked perfectly. The kit included a centering pin thats missing on many kits. I am quite happy with the kit and the results.

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.

Dont waste your money broke after second use

The collars threading broke right away

If you need to sand and/or chisel to get the inlay to fit into the recess, then it defeats the purpose buying a tool like this.
