They are difficult to find, very fragile, and quite expensive considering the lack of durability.I try to use a 1/4" or 1/8" tool for clearing and only use this tool for cleaning up the detail edges. Even then, make sure you are taking VERY shallow cuts, and slow your feed rate down to like 30" per minute. Even having taken all those precautions if your cut takes you through a knot, or you are using particularly hard material like hickory, you will snap these off occasionally. If you are doing custom client jobs, make sure you keep more that one of these on hand and tread very gingerly with them.If you are just doing fine engraving and don't need the straight bit, the 1/16th tapered ball nose is far more durable, and might be a better choice for some jobs. Even for inlays I usually use the tapered bit. You just have to experiment a bit because you'll have to make your pockets a little undersize to compensate for the taper. Once you get it down, it a much better way to go for inlays. The taper actually gives you tighter inlays and less gaps.When you do need the straight edges AND tight corners (epoxy fills, for example) this tool is invaluable. I have bought several of these in spite of the breakage, and will continue to buy them. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Quickly became my favorite bit in my Shaper Origin! *by H***R on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on October 13, 2022* I like to cut signs (and intricate pieces of signs) with my Shaper Origin, and this bit can get into sharp corners much more effectively than other bits (like the 1/8th or 1/4 inch).I’ve started working with 2.7mm plywood, and this bit can easily cut it in one pass, and as it’s a down cut bit, it seems to minimize the sanding needed on the top edge (which is a big deal for me).The bit is a little pricey, but this far I’d say β€œWorth every penny!” --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/345130997-spetool-down-cut-spiral-router-bit-1-16-inch-cutting](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/345130997-spetool-down-cut-spiral-router-bit-1-16-inch-cutting) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
