Router Brass Inlay Kit

I’m an amateur wood worker but worked very nice and easy

I really like this kit. In no time I was cutting inlays in wood. It does have some limitations. If you try to make something very small the curvature of the bits may limit you. It seemed to work fine for any template design I made bigger that and inch or so. The bits are good quality and the brass components are well made. You can get incredible accuracy with this. Once you understand how it works it is relatively easy to use. The bits are sharp and should last quite a while before needing sharpening or replacement. I think the price is reasonable for what you get, it should last for a very long time. You can make quite a variety of shapes, really limited to your imagination. I made templates out of 1/4 inch stock on a scroll saw.

I’ve been wanting to try wood inlay for a while with my 1/4 makita router. This kit worked very well. Walnut table top inlay with maple leaves and the bit is still going strong. Maple is very hard and burns easily, so I went slow and cleaned out my channels with the first pass. I bought a second bit due to some of the reviews, but so far, I have not needed it. I have some bluing on the bit, but I expect for it to last my next couple projects at least. Well worth the cost!

Not sure I’m following the negative reviews. I had never tried bow tie inlays and was curious to try it out in a desk I’m building. Probably more cosmetic than functional but I wanted to secure a couple of cracks and gave this bushing/bit a try. Easy to set up, experimented on a couple of scrap pieces and went ahead and made walnut bow ties that I inserted in the chestnut desk. Worked like a charm. 4 stars as time will tell if it can withstand longer usage.

I’ve cut out 20 or more different styles and sizes of walnut and white oak inlays with this so far and it’s worked great for me. The bit is still fairly sharp FYI just make sure you check that it doesn’t work loose from your router base tightening it snugly so to avoid that.

My experience level doing inlays was zero but I was able to complete a project that looked good. I found it to be very accurate and easy to use

Good quality fits my Bosch router perfectly made from good quality materials and amazon us was best priced st the time of purchase Fitted perfectly and durable , using. It at least 4x time a week for inlays on custom kitchen tops . Very happy with purchase indeed

I love Powertec stuff, so I was incredibly surprised when I mounted the bit and attempted to route out a template , as I’ve done countless times. Smoke rose out of the piece, which refused to move in any direction no matter what I did — almost like it was completely dull. Unfortunately the piece sat for far too long in my shop before I had a chance to use it, as sometimes happens, so returning isn’t an option. As I said, I usually love Powertec stuff, but apparently every brand has an off unit here or there.

Excelente...

I only used it about 6 times and the part of it snapped off the main part of the bush
