Foos Straight Carbide Router bits - 1/4” Shank - USA Veteran Owned (1/4 Cutting Diameter)

Used it to cut dados in plywood. Worked like a champ.

Not up to my sharpness expectations.

I bought this because the beginner type sets that I have didnt include this size. I spent an afternoon with this, making a bin for violins and cases. Cleaner cuts. Noticeably. Holding it in your hand next to what I had, the higher quality of this is clear. Worth it.

I rarely leave a review, but for this bit is different. you can really feel the difference, cut is fast, smooth, precise. True, it cost more than other bits but it really worth it. Rob.

Good quality at a fair price. Ive only cut a few feet of 1/8 x 1/4dado in Baltic birch so far, but cuts are crisp and bit shows no wear. Ill be checking Foos first for future bit orders. Nice to see a US manufacturer offer such quality and value.

Ive used others they broke quickly. Ive made 4 projects with this one and its still going strong. Nice product

Using this on the CNC for aluminum and aluminum composite and it works great. I dont see any premature wear, but were only in a few hours on this bit. Ill keep this review updated as we use it more, just hit the Useful button to stay up to date.

Used it for designing and making Goovy Boards for use with quilting machines.

I got this bit to replace a name brand bit that went from new to dull in a single project. I was naturally concerned about performance of a “cheap” bit, but am tired of even expensive bits going dull relatively quickly. I used this bit this evening to batch cut 72 slots in some hardwood and it was cutting as true and clean on the last slot as it was when I made the first cut. I am impressed that it outperformed an identical name brand bit! I will definitely be looking to this brand for other bits as well!

These bits do well but pay attention to the measurements. I use these for my CNC and while they can carve well, any depth past 1/2 inch is sketchy. With wood at big box stores mostly sold at 3/4” thick, these would not be ideal for through cuts because the cutting surface just isn’t long enough. I did not mark these down a star for it because they do work, just not the best for what I want it to do.
