The Whiteside Router Bit I purchased exceeded my expectations. Through trial and error, I found that it consistently produced clean, precise cuts on hardwoods and softwoods alike. The bit remains sharp through extended use and the overall quality is impressive. The only drawback is the higher price point compared to other bits on the market, but the longevity and performance make it worth the investment. Overall, I highly recommend this router bit.
Whiteside is my preferred cutter supplier. However, this one broke after about 10 minutes of use on my CNC machine. Upon inspection of the fracture, a defect in the steel was found. It was kind of a turn on. The result was a weak shaft that failed with minimal use.
