Mark R.Verified
Use these bits to cut out things like my Santa yard ornament, snow men, reindeer and sleigh. They cut great very little sanding needed.

I built the first one from scrap plywood. It came out so perfect that I ordered some 3/4” Baltic Birch to my permanent one! Works fantastic!

Super cool design and easy to do with the file. I thought about creating my own but after coming across this one it wasn't worth my time. Great file!

This bit made a very nice finger groove on a lazy susan. I used it on a small tray and it works great.

Customer photo review of Premium Cutting Board Feet - Brass/Stainless Steel
Scott P.Verified
Perfect, both boards were slightly skewed so I added a stainless steel washer to one leg. Barely visible. Worked fine. Maybe an adjustable leg would be a good idea?

No complaints with this digital file. Everything you need is in the files. CIC is easy to deal with which is a big plus.

Customer photo review of Golden Girl - 1/4" x 1" Downcut Rougher
Rod R.Verified
Just as advertised. Clean, fast and easy. I was expecting fast but it is much cleaner/ smother than I thought it would be. Cuts down time without sacrificing anything.

I used your feet on a live edge black walnut charcuterie board. The brass colored feet were a great contrast to the board and made it look very rich. Made it for my daughter and son-in-law for Christmas. First comment when they opened the gift was “you made this? It looks very expensive. Love the brass feet.” BTW, I liked it so much, I ordered four more sets. No more cheap black plastic feet on my cutting or charcuterie boards.

The bit kit is a no brainer for picking tools. The 3/16 bit is now my go-to choice.

A well made product that was perfectly priced and great looking, even if it is on the underside of the cutting board on the counter. I know they're there though . .

Customer photo review of Hard Maple Panel+1
Frank Y.Verified
These are 12x20x3/4 hard maple 2 hrs machining time each at 40 inches per minute. Stained with gel stain and finished with tung oil. Panels were nice and flat and machined well. I’m having a little trouble getting the color the way I want that I never had with panels from my previous supplier. Except for that, I love the panels and will be buying more.

It has been about a year since I purchased my Shapeoko Pro 5, and until recently, I had been using inexpensive bits. After switching to the bits from CIC, I am extremely impressed with their quality and the higher speeds and feeds I can run while still achieving a smooth, clean finish. I won’t be going back to cheap bits—these deliver excellent performance at a great price. CIC also provides outstanding customer service.

Customer photo review of Walnut Panel

The walnut panels are my favorite. I have a small shop, I can mill rough lumber but the time I save with the prefinished panels saves time and money

Bam x works great on my cnc, people love the look. I love the fact of no staining or sanding.

Customer photo review of Inlay Press Digital File
John S.Verified
Worked pretty well. Tabs were a little thin and had piece break off. It also would have been helpful if the different operations had separate layers in the VCarve file. Had to respect the profile and accidently selected the screw holes. It ended badly for the me, the bit and especially the screw.

These are great feet that will elevate any larger project. My only wish is that they could make/offer smaller versions for small projects (maybe 1/4, 3/8, and 1-2 inch sizes).

Love the rocking chair as I order two more pieces of Bamcore plywood!!!!Going to make two more for grand kids

Grady G.Verified
The material is great quality with few blemishes. It is square and is sanded to 170 I believe. The boards are worth the price. Purchasing materials to make my own end grain boards, jointing/planing, glue up time, sanding, is expensive in both materials and time. I highly recommend

Charles K.Verified
Unfortunately, I have not yet had time to make this project, but I will say I am quite impressed with the details provided in the package. The files and material are exactly what was expected. I'm an experienced CNC user, so I do not expect any issues when cutting this. However, for those just starting or with little experience, it might be nice to offer a reduced price on replacement pieces in the event their is a cut problem. Perhaps they are already available (I did not go look on the ...

I haven’t cut them yet. I have three. Working on a Christmas ornament project for my son in law. He’s a WHP Captain and the ornaments are for his staff.

Came out great, pieces went together really well. Ended up donating the eagle to a middle school vice principal to put in her office. The only thing I think that would be great is a little more room at the top to place some words. Did not think to do this until after cutting everything out. I think “We the People” or something similar would have been cool

I have not used the round over but I expect it to be perfect. The trays I made turned out great. These bits are fantastic. Smooth, clean cuts and no tear out. Highly recommend. It's all about the bits. Buy quality and great projects happen.

Used these combo endmills to cut out Center Project in your 3 Inlay Kit. worked fantastic! Still waiting on hearing from CIC why I can't route the other two projects. Have wrote several times. Perhaps you could just send me the individual files for the USA and Deer Inlay. Thanks Gary Hulsbrink [email protected] 810 931-8899

The cutting board brass feet looks great, elegant and professional made. I haven’t been able to used them yet, but they are going to be for a very unique boards.

Craig H.Verified
Shipping was quick and the inlay kit was packaged well. The boards are as flat as can be and ready for milling. I would like to see no sap wood in the walnut glue up but it’s not a deal breaker. I would also like to have options for larger boards. I like a 18” x 24” x 2” board more often than not. These are great quality and will save you tons of time. Will definitely be ordering more.
