Review on Whiteside 2408 Router Bits - Enhanced Diameter for Enhanced Performance by Jay Blo

Admittedly that's a lot for any router, but the one I have is a pretty solid 2 1/4 HP Milwaukee stationary base that does a great job on other router jobs. I have about half a dozen Whiteside tips and they're all really great. Super sharp, cuts through, doesn't stick. This guy is a whole different story. As I unwrapped it from the rubber wax coating, I noticed that one blade was very sharp and the other relatively dull. This eventually led to a problem. My particular job, which I bought a bit for, was to sand a 1 inch southern yellow pine cabinet top with about a half inch overhang onto the cabinet base. The work shouldn't have been too hard. 2" cutting length, 1/2" collet required. When I first worked with wood, I found that a dull blade pulled rather than cut. I tried short passes. I tried different directions. work. I did everything I could. I ended up with a few broken areas that I had to fill in and a few passes that ended well. I sincerely believe this is an isolated case and not all bits will be like this, but I doubt I'll keep buying Whiteside, but probably not for a long flush.
