Whiteside Router Bits 1541 V-Groove 60-Degree 1/4-Inch Cutting Diameter and 7/32-Inch Point Length

Very nice cutter. Was using a variety 2 flute 1/4 shank 1/2 cutting head (2 zero points) for a v carve inlay on fine text and this one cut much better. It’s my go to engraving bit

As discribed

Im giving this a five star review even though the product picture is completely wrong. I have used this product for a couple of years and new what I was buying. It is actually a three flute 1/4dia 60° router bit. Very sharp and lasts longer than any bit that I have ever used, and as a sign making business cutting red oak 8 hrs a day, we have used a lot of bits.

Used this bit to replace a 60 degree v-bit that kept breaking off the tip. It ran flawlessly through 12-4x8 sheets of fir plywood at 1/16 deep. Afterwords examined the tip and cutting edge with a jewelers loupe and found it was almost as new. Highly recommend this for engraving and projects were a v-groove bit will break.

does what I want

Three flutes are great. Very smooth insertion with a plunge router and smooth sides to the cavity. A longer shaft would be nice for use in a plunge router making signs. Im using mine in a Bosch colt with plunge base. Would buy again.

These bits are awesome, they stay sharp for sooo long running them on my CNC and they dont cost much at all, I used one for 6 months and it was still cutting great, bought another just because it seemed time to replace it.. definitely didnt need to though. Seems everyone is buying the Amana bit with replacement carbide inserts now,they will originally run you a lot of money and replacement inserts cost as much as this bit, I highly recommend this bit for v carving.

With two projects done so far but I am very pleased with the clean cut. Ive used it to cut decorative borders in hard maple cribbage boards. The bit cuts to a point with no flat spot on the end. Very happy with the bit.

Works very well

This cutter performs flawlessly doing some V-carving in MDF and oak. I also used it on some acrylic, but realized that the acrylic was not the right kind of acrylic to use for machining, so I imagine the bit will perform good with cast acrylic instead of the extruded which I was using.
