This router bit is a game changer. Thanks to my knowledge gained in practice, I can say it cuts through any kind of wood like butter. The fact that it's made from industrial and scientific materials sets it apart from any other router bit out there. The only con is that it may be pricier than some other router bits on the market, but the quality makes up for it.
Whiteside router bits have a good reputation but I never got to try the one I bought. The shank size wasn't listed in the product description and I must have missed the questions. It turns out that the 1069 bit has a 1/2" shank that doesn't fit in my 1/4" router collet. My purchase price was refunded immediately, but I do not pay any return costs.
