I am a woodworking hobbyist with many years and many projects behind me. I've tried many different manufacturers over the years: Freud, Amana, Bosch. and cheap ones like Sears. While some of the best names make very good beats, I found Whiteside to be the best. They are very sharp right out of the box, the amount (size) of carbide is large (allows for more sharpening cycles), high quality carbide means they stay sharp longer; there is no chatter and burn marks are very rare. Also, unlike some bits, the PN mark is easily readable. When they get mixed up (this happens to me all the time, despite my organized memory system), it's very easy to find a ΒΎ-bit versus an even 23/32-bit. They might be a bit more expensive, but they are definitely worth it. If you haven't tried Whiteside yet, I encourage you to check them out and give them a try. You might not immediately notice a difference from any of the other top brands, but I bet you'll become hooked as well over time.
