If youre like I was, you buy any tool you can afford. Save your money and dont waste it on some no name tool company. You get what you pay for.... Spend a little extra and you will get better, longer lasting tools that at the end of the day, will save you time and money. You dont need to buy a whole set, but buy the most common bits from Whiteside, and you will be a much better maker.

Used it yesterday to rough out a tray I was making out of Padauk. It replaces an old Whiteside bit that has lasted a long time....

Used the router bit for the first time and while the bit cut clean and accurate, the guide bearing failed, froze up and spun on the shaft. The bit is still sharp and usable, but not as designed with a guide bearing.

Very good router bit. Whiteside are not as cheap as some but they are excellent quality and very sharp. It will outlast many many cheaper ones. It cut smoothly and didnt burn the wood.

It worked as advertised. Cuts smoothly and works well.

Love this bit. Very stable and easy to manage in my router table. Makes a nice flat surface, doesn’t burn or chip out. At first I tried the 3/4” bowl bit but it was frustrating because the flat spot was too small. This has a nice large flat spot.

Mostly used this on cedar but have used it on ash and walnut. Whiteside never disappoints. Monkey Fart.

I purchased this bit along with a extension to route serving bowls in 2 thick mahogany. The bit was checked in 2and half horse power router on a CNC machine. It ran for 90 minutes per tray with excellent finish and sharpness. Dont know what the life expectancy is for this bit but Whiteside has an excellent reputation for durablity. I have done three trays so far with vey good results. Highly recommended.

This second project was hard Maple. Carved out 1/2” deep compartment. I am so impressed with how sharp these bits are. No tear out in the corners.
