Category: Out-of-Spec (Factory Seconds)

This listing is for a factory second 1/16-inch long-reach down-cut spiral bit with a 1/4-inch shank. It is being sold as an out-of-spec item due to a laser blemish. The bit is otherwise functional for routing applications that require a down-cut spiral geometry.

  • 1/16-inch cutting diameter with a 1/4-inch shank for compatibility with standard collets.
  • Long-reach design for accessing deeper or recessed areas.
  • Down-cut spiral helps produce cleaner top edges and reduces tear-out on certain materials.
  • Marked as a factory second due to a laser blemish; performance may vary.
  • Ideal for hobbyists or professionals seeking a budget-friendly option for non-critical projects.

Andrew P. ★★★★★

I was worried about the blemish affecting performance, but after using it for a few test cuts, the 1/4-inch shank provides rock-solid stability and the down-cut spiral leaves clean edges. It’s a great value for a bit that works just like a first-quality one.

Stella L. ★★★★★

The laser blemish is barely visible once it's in the collet, and the 1/4-inch shank fits my router perfectly. The 1/16-inch reach let me get into a tight slot without any chatter, honestly can't tell this was a factory second.

Alexander ★★★★★

I’ve been putting this bit through some tight pocket cuts and the 1/4-inch shank holds perfectly steady, no chatter at all. The laser blemish is just a tiny spot on the finish, doesn’t touch the cutting edge or the reach. For a factory second, it’s performing like a first run.
