Even for a first timer, this inlay kit worked flawlessly as advertised. Using just basic router skills, it couldn't be much simpler. Put the bit and the guide bushing in the router, trace the template to cut the receiving hole, add the spacer to trace out the inlay with the same template, cut the inlay piece free from the stock, and place it in the complimenting cutout hole. Some sanding may be required to make everything flush, and a practice run is always a good idea.

This is a high quality brass set that worked like a charm for me on my first try.

First one broke - seemed to be flaw at junction were base and stem meet. I believe this to be VERY rare. Contacted the seller and part was replaced. New part arrived in less than 48 hours. Most definitely will order here again.
