47222-S Amana Tool Miniature Flush Trim Plunge Bit

The only dislike i had and reason i had to order more, was the fact that the bearing broke off on the second inlay pattern i was attempting to make. I went from a softwood no issues of course. My second project was Walnut. Keep in mind this is truly AWSOME on softwoods. But, not so good on hardwoods. I took a chance and ordered 3 more of these bits.

I used this bit for the first time this weekend. AWSOME hard working little bit. Keep in mind not to go to deep on your first pass. I did so on walnut and broke the bit. Completely my fault. I should know better. I just ordered 3 more. As with anything routing out, in hardwoods, softwoods even it is better to setup for shallow cuts to get to your desired depth.

This Trim Bit works just fine and makes nice hand lettering.

These bits work amazing on a lot of different templates that I bought through Jeff Mack Supply. All of the acrylic templates are designed very well too. The acrylic templates are about a quarter inch thick so that gives you plenty of space for the router roller bearing.

i needed to make a border around a not-so-great inlay, and still had the template. taped it back down and used this bit to erase my jagged chisel work and make a perfect outline of the original key (shaped like a duck, for a hunter friend). worked absolutely perfectly. i was concerned about the 3/16 shaft holding up to the lateral forces, but slow and steady and it absolutely ripped. i only wish i could find one at 1/8 did
