POWERTECSolid Brass Inlay Kit. Router Bit with 1/4" Cutting Dia. & Shank. Fits Porter-Cable Style Router Base Plate. Works with Router Templates for Woodworking Tools & Router Accessories (71729)

Bit provided a clean wood inlay cut out using an acrylic template, and routed perfectly for placement.

Great kit worked as it says. Only error was me! tilt of router creating tear out and the soft pine wood didn't help. First first 3 ever inlays on work bench top. These were cut in to get rid of checked knot holes. Good buy

Does the job perfectly, at a perfect price compared to other companies, I hope that the quality will not suffer over the years of use

Works great makes inlay work easy

Used it to make 28 jewelry boxes!!

UPDATE: this unit is going back. I reduced my rating down to 1.After trying out a couple of other attempts to cut inlays, I realized this will not work. I remeasured the dimensions. The compression router bit diameter is 0.247" - this is close enough to the 0.25" it's supposed to be. Besides the router bit dimension doesn't really matter that much for this work. The inner bushing diameter is 0.381". Again this is not critical as it simply needs to be minimally larger than bit. The issue is the outer ring. Its diameter is 0.866". Meaning that the difference between the inner and outer bushing diameter is 0.485". This needs to be exactly 0.500" (i.e., 2x the diameter of the bit). Because of this every time you cut an inlay, it's 0.015" smaller (that's about 0.4"). So, none of my pieces fit.I am new to inlay and template cutting so I didn’t want to spend oodles of money getting a bushing set and high end router bits. This set is OK and functional and will serve as a training ground for me to learn.This unit has some issues that I want to point out.1) the secondary ring that goes on the inner bushing is slightly undersized. This causes the inlay cut to be slightly undersized. I had do a fair bit of sanding with fine sandpaper to get my inlay to fit.2) second problem with the outer ring is that it’s way too tight. It’s nearly impossible to remove it with mere mortal hands. I had to use hard plastic automotive panel removal tool to get it off. Of course I didn’t use a flat head screwdriver because it would have damaged the brass bushing.3) the bit is OK but it’s not as good and sharp. It had trouble cutting smoothly even on an MDF.So in short, this is a good practice piece but I am sure I’ll buy a more reputable brand (and drink heavily afterwards because, you know, the cost).

The POWERTEC 71729 offers fantastic value for its price. It's simple to install and operate, with swift delivery to boot. In short, I'm thoroughly satisfied with my purchase.

This inlay set is a 1/4" set. It is not appropriate for the bowtie template kit that it was recommended for.
