I just bought a router inlay kit (bushing+collar and bit).
In less than a couple hours testing I have managed to break both the bit that came with it, and my own 1/8" carbide bit.
The first time could have been me putting stress on the bit during alignment (the router wasn't on).
The second time I was routing along the edge of the template, came to the point, and suddenly things felt wrong. Lifted the router up and the bit was broken.
Is there a trick to using these kits that I need to be aware of or am I just beating the odds?
I'm a little stunned and a whole lot of frustrated because I can't believe I just killed $25 worth of router bits.
