CIC Workshop ReviewsSee store reviews

The pocket and the maze cut perfectly. The handles did as well. The outside edge went off the rails due to the clamps giving way. Luckily the cut went to the outside of the board. I wan able to salvage the build by cutting he outside profile on my bandsaw. I will probably do that from now an anyway. It was faster and cleaner than routing it on the CNC. It will save the bit as well. Just needs edge rounding and finish.

I have bought a few things from CIC and have been very pleased. I have not used my point cutter bit, but it looks like it will do the job just fine. The piece of maple I ordered is going to be used for photovcarving, so we will see how that goes. The board though is perfect. Thanks again. Mike

I'm a retired Dentist and now work and teach at the Atlanta Woodcraft. Several of us are retired from various professions. I made 4 clocks for my self and 3 other retired doctors and others. They loved them as do I love all the CIC projects I've done. Keep up the great work !!! Dr. Michael Perpall

Well, somehow I did the male carve wrong so it would up bigger than the female. My mistake for sure. Going to go put resin in the carve. I think it’ll turn out great. I really appreciate the file as well. More purchases to come for sure. BTW, I was Assistant Chief in Columbus many years back and knew your Chief at the time before be became Chief in Columbus. Be safe my friend.

This is my first order, do yourself a favor and watch the step by step video before starting. I’m fairly new to the cnc scene so I will be doing the project once I’m sure I have all the steps down and comfortable with it. Great company to do business with. I will be ordering the inlay kits very soon.

Super easy, am trying to find a local supplier for the 1/2" thick glued up panels since the CIC site doesn't have them yet. 3/4" is just too thick. They look amazing, and we are ready to make more of them. Thank you to the CIC team, everything was perfect.

With out mentioning any competitors, I had broken 3 1/8th inch hogging bits using their “conservative” feed and speed settings. Really stumped me as haven’t had that issue with any other 1/8th bit. Have now used this one twice and no issues - Thanks much !!

Used it with a slower feed rate and I didn’t have to sand and mad board look as if it was done by a pro Thank if you haven’t bought any of these bits your missing out give them a try you will not be mad about the try

Working on the internals of some fly boxes made from 1/2" bamboo plywood and the larger bowl bit has been very useful. Will send a photo when I finished a prototype.

The feet are perfect but for me, it was the personal message handwritten on the back of the wooden block that made the difference. This kind of appreciation is rarely seen these days. You can consider me a repeat customer!

The stainless steel feet far exceeded my expectations. The feet are more like jewelry than board feet. The silicon inserts have my board planted to my counter. It simply does not move now, even when the counter is wet. I have one small quibble. The provided screws are low grade and tightening them into rock-hard walnut without stripping the heads was not easy. Don't buy some cheap feet from Amazon. These feet will last a lifetime. Highly recommended.

That 3/4 bowl bit is a work horse. Could not believe the material that it removed and never slowed down. If you don't have this set, you need to go and get it right now. It's a game changer.

Really happy with the outcome of this Marble Maze kit. As my machine is no where as sturdy as a commercial machine, I had to adjust the depth of cut and the feed settings.

This bit is in amazing. Cuts fast and clean. Leaves a pretty clean edge if used the way Ryan has the Tortilla Press tool paths configured with an offset final pass. The is my new profile pass go to bit!

I used this bit on a inlay. I love it because it does not leave a lot of little fuzzies that I have to spend a lot of time cleaning up. Very sharp and cuts clean.

Baltic Birch is always a solid choice. I mostly use it for backing boards and some interior structure for some of the boxes I make, so not really any photos to speak of. Excellent, reliable material.

I must admit, I was skeptical of these bits given their design and look, but after using it a couple of times, I’m a true believer of how great they cut. They are a definite improvement over standard bits! Thanks CIC!

It was a quick and seem less process. Boards shipped when they were supposed to. Customer service was great and kept me up to date on everything. Quality of the wood is great and easy to work with. It is carve ready.

The walnut board did have a void in it that carried through the other side. The other boards were fine, so I just chalked it up to an “oops”. Overall, I’m very happy with the boards.

I made this and have used it on 4 inlays so far…. This press works great, it makes the job so much easier. I have ordered more press clamps to make two more so I can do multiple inlay glue ups at a time. Great design easy to use.

It will be several weeks before I can complete this kit (for Christmas) but the materials are top notch and we'll packed. I love the personal touch added to the shipment!

My first canary wood board was broke in half. I notified CIC right away and I had a new board within a few days. I haven’t had a chance to use it yet. Have been busy helping my husband build a 3n1 crib and dresser for our newest great grandson . Still have a few things to complete the dresser. Hopefully we will be done this week. CIC is always ready to make it right.

I love everything I have received from cic workshop and I try and watch every video to learn your process and then Try and work it in to my process . Thanks so much

Used to create a custom sign. Carved with OFlute bit, only thing since I did double sided engraving I will order 1/2 next time because you can see through if you engrave to deep.

This keyhole bit is the perfect bit to add the hanging slots on the back of all my flags and plaques and Ryan's video on how to program the toolpath in Vetric was a HUGE help. Can't wait to order my next CIC Workshop bit, whatever it may be!

The first try was with face grain and I got a lot of chip out. The second try was with end grain and it turned out prefect and loved it

Every kit that I have purchased from CIC has been great and easy to follow. I am looking forward to seeing what is offered for my birthday month, which is January. Harold B&H Woodcfajters

The bit, but more importantly the service, was amazing. So good in fact I've just ordered a set of three (3) more bits. CIC Workshop will be my go to for bits in the future!

This has become my go-to for clean top edges. It leaves a really nice finish on the surface, especially on profile cuts and pockets where you don’t want tearout. I’ve run it in maple, walnut, and cedar with good results. You do need to be mindful of chip evacuation, but that’s expected with a downcut. Overall, super clean cuts and predictable performance.

I have ordered a few of these and they all arrived quickly and well packaged. Working them was great as the glue joints and gain were tight and clean. No flaws of any type were found.

I gotta tell ya - I ordered two of the TBN bits and expected a couple of weeks for delivery. No shit, I had them in less than 3 days - all the way to Washington state from Texas. Now that's service! Will definitely be ordering again. Next will be some of that colored plastic or more bits@ thx guys - you rock! BTW, keep the new videos coming Ryan!

I have ordered from CIC a couple of times now and have been very impressed with the delivery, packaging, and materials received. This will not be my last order with them - for sure!

The panels arrived quickly and well-packaged. I have not used them yet, but I have some projects in mind. The panels are nicely sanded on both sides, saving me a lot of work when I use them.

I've been running 2 CNC machines for the past 11 years and over that time have purchased many router bits, especially, the 1/8" end mill. I noticed that a particular one never seemed to wear out. It stayed sharp and delivered smooth clean cuts. It lasted so long I had to look back to see where I purchased it from. I would recommend this bit to anyone. It might cost more than the Amazon variety but will more than pay for itself in the long run.

Appreciate prompt service and follow up. By any chance due you offer any assistance workimg with Vectric having a problem bringing an image over from internet after bitmap it I can’t inlay it keep getting message be sure tool will fit both on male and female. I am using desk top version if can my email is [email protected] thank you

Get a lot out of your videos really like ordering your inlay panels saves a lot of time for me having to make them in the shop and your bits are very reasonable compared to other places and they do a wonderful job

I'VE BOUGHT THESE QUITE A FEW TIMES AND LOVED ALMOST ALL OF THEM. ONLY ONE PANEL HAD A 1" X 1" CHUCK KNOCKED OUT OF IT, BUT I DIDN'T WORRY ABOUT IT, I JUST SHIFTED THE JOB IMAGE. AND A COUPLE OF PANELS HAD SOME PRETTY DARK AREAS BUT IT'S WOOD. I FIGURE IF I CAN'T WORK AROUND IT I'LL JUST SAY IT GIVES CHARACTER TO THE PIECE. BUT OVER ALL THE PANELS ARE VERY NICE. AND A VERY GOOD VALUE AS WELL!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, A LOT OF PEOPLE DEPEND ON YOU GUYS, INCLUDING ME!!
