Whiteside Router Bits RD2100 Standard Spiral Bit with Down Cut Solid Carbide 1/4-Inch Cutting Diameter and 1-Inch Cutting Length

Whiteside router bits are supposed to be the Cadillac of these kinds of tools. Mine must have beed a Monday morning after a long weekend product. It sure isnt as sharp as expected tough still cuts but you really cant push it, even in pine

This bit did a great job. It is crazy sharp and holds its edge well. I use it in an older 3/4 hp router to cut through 1/2 oak pallet wood thats edge glued to make 30x30 squares. I then use the router in a home made circle jig to cut out 28 clock faces from the wood. The router bit cuts well, doesnt skip a beat on glue joints, and has held its edge well for four clock faces. Recommended.

I used this with a shop-made fixture for cutting louver mortises on a historic shutter restoration. Perfect tool for the job. Whiteside makes good cutters.

Works perfect shavings are forced down leaving a clean cut..

Fast shipping and worked great.

I use this on my cnc and it creates clean cuts. Ive used it to cut in oak and softwoods, no complaints at all. it stays sharp and have use it for quite a while now, made at least 100 signs with it.

The bit is good. Sharp and cuts clean. The picture on amazons website is deceiving. I wanted a downcut, but my router is under the table, same orientation as the picture shows and spinning in such a direction that this bit actually forces the piece up. I wish the picture was clearer because I thought I was buying the right bit and it ended up ruining my project. I think I actually need an upcut bit so that the Plexiglas im working on wont try to jump off the table. live and learn.

Only use Whiteside bits in my machines. Excellent quality. You get what you pay for.

worked for routing out an inlay. I did run into a little issue, but customer service was quick with a response and solution. Would buy from them again.

So far so good. Used it on my jasper jig to test some circle cuts. Its only a 1/4 inch bits. So dont try to beat it down. I only went 1/8th deep and finished with a flush trim. Works for what I need it to do
