Carbide Downcut Inlay Router Bits


Read 71 Reviews   |   Write a Review

The best cutters for inlay work and saddle slotting! Solid carbide lasts far longer than steel, and reverse spiral flutes cut downward for cleaner, "no fuzz" edges in routed cavities.

To use our 1/8"-shank bits in your laminate trimmer's 1/4" collet, see our #5246 Adapter Collet.

Sold individually or SAVE when you buy the set of all five sizes.

Use the larger bits for removing wood in the middle of your inlay work, and save the fine bits for the fine details. The fine detail bits are fragile, for routing intricate details only.

Excellent cutters

I have a few of these cutters in various sizes and would not be without them, great for those important little jobs. Get a couple though because if it breaks, as they do from time to time, nothing will do the job quite like it!

Expensive, but worth it!

The sticker shock of these bits might frighten people off, but they are the highest quality bits I have yet found. Used carefully, they will easily last longer than anything else I've tried, and stay sharp seemingly forever, leaving no fuzzy edges, ever.

Nice Quality

There are other options but none as accurate or clean cutting as these bits!

Down & out

I recently broke my 1/32 downcut bit and used various alternatives but nothing compares. These bits are the only way to get really clean inlay cuts - easy to see where you are cutting and to get an accurate profile of your inlay tracing. But they are fragile!

Cuts much better than Dremel bits

I had a few bit that came with my Dremel tool and they are 6 flutes. They cut way too slow. These 2 flute bits that I bought from stewMac cuts so much faster, and not rough at all!

Sharp!

These bits are fantastic. They cut much smoother and cleaner than the non-carbide bits. They are a little on the expensive side for the size of, but in the end are certainly worth it once the inlay work is completed and the customers are happy.

Great router bits!

The bits worked great and completely took care of the "fuzzy edge" problem. Thanks!
