Review on Whiteside Router Bits RU5200T: High-Performance Diameter for Precision Routing by Jeremy Tyson

From what I could measure with a digital caliper, the diameter was as close as possible to .500 inches as advertised. Cuts in veneered plywood are clean, with no chips both across and along the grain. The bottom of the incision was flat and smooth. Beat exceeded my expectations and needs in every way. This is an UPDATE. I have used it several times since the first review and felt compelled to give it praise. This beat exceeded my expectations. expectations with each use. This is the sharpest piece I have (be careful I'll cut myself installing). It leaves a smooth, flat bottom and even edges, even on plywood. It melts the material as you clean the pocket, leaving fine shavings like a finely tuned and sharpened hand plane.
