Worked like a dream. Very true to flat and having the ability to change cutters versus purchasing a whole new bit every time allows for years of use from this one purchase. Well worth the money!
I bought this, for one I needed a new flattening bit for my surface board and second it was cheaper than a drum sander. I need to sell a few more boards before getting that sander. This bit did an awesome job. I used it to flatten my cutting board and it left a great finish. I think I could have went straight to 120grit and skip 80. I didn’t, but sanding with the 80 was much faster than before. If you need a flattening bit this is a great bit. I’m using it in a makita router for a spindle.
This was my first kit. The files were perfect, the instruction video walk me through every step of the process The results came out better than expected. I just ordered two flag kits. Am very happy with the results of the maze.
I and my customers love the domino game set. However some customers have asked if I have cribbage boards.
So I added to the outside of both halves a cribbage board protected with acrylic.
Thank you

These are truly the best bits I have used. I have used a lot of more expensive and brand-name bits, but these are hands down my favorite. THANK YOU, Ryan!
Thanks to Ryan's YouTube video on doing V Carve Inlays, I have done over 40 inlay projects using your 30 degree "V" carving bits.
This project below is a Floating Plaque that I just gifted to a local center that offers free services to cancer patients. It is held up by concealed magnets and anchored down at the bottom with fishing line.
As they are having a fund raising event I have also donated the Marble Maze game and the spalted sycamore end grain cutting board that I purchased from CIC
The Kin logo and the Welcome To Kin are V Carved Inlays and the Heart & Hands are regular Inlays. The white text is done with white wood filler.
Thanks again to Ryan for his great V Bits and for sharing a lot of CNC woodworking tips to us hobbyist.
Much Appreciated.

I wanted to try my hand at something new and I ordered a 30 pack of mixed hardwood. The shipment was quick and the wood was perfect. Thanks again and I look forward to buying more.
The 60 degree .5 width worked really well. I look forward in using it with other projects in the near future. It left a smooth cut where sanding or clean out was very simple. Great bit.
I decided to set the beak and flag flush with the black portion. The stripes sit proud of the white and it looks great! Customer support was excellent when I screwed something up and needed another sheet.
Use my first Bamx sheet to make these throw trays for a local fire department.
Cut clean finished well.
Have another project planned for christmas trays with the second sheet I purchased.
Love these smaller end grain Inlay Kits for expanding my inlay skills plus the size is perfect for gifts or presents. Such a huge time savings buying these kits and the larger size Inlay Kits. I get these kits from CIC and they go right to my CNC. As opposed to 2-3 days of gluing, clamping , sawing, planing and sanding. Highly recommend!
Even though this HDPE Color Core is a little pricey it’s wonderful to work with. No staining, painting and very little if any sanding . Perfect for outdoor projects. So actually your money ahead when you take in consideration on the time savings.
excellent file thank you very much for that turned out amazing only had machine few weeks and it was so easy to do shocked me that it turned out so well.
60 degree engraving bit did a great job on the One Ring Poem from The Lord of the Rings engraved on oak.
I also mistakenly drilled six 1/8” holes with a downcut bit … oops. A quick trip to the ultrasonic cleaner and it was good as new.
Love this walnut!!! The detail on these plaques is amazing. My client in Oregon runs the 3rd LAR Wolfpack Association and it stoked to get these plaques for their annual reunion.
I am not a fan of the BamX material. That center bamboo is hard and I broke off two of the screw heads when going into the seat. Had to redrill and go in a little lower. Had to sand where the pieces fit together to make them fit. No wonder the company is called Cutting it close LOL and the splinters from the walnut looking material were hard to see once they were in the skin. However, the project worked out and my wife loved it that she took possession of the rocking chair. Do not even think that it was me having a second hobby of sewing fabric animals together it was my wife. LOL CIC continue putting the projects out there and I'll probably continue to buy. Thanks!
