Very sharp and very well made. I don't understand how Whiteside makes such good parts at this price point. I bought a set of bearings to go with them and couldn't be happier.
This is a quality racquet at a reasonable price. Almost all my cutters are Whiteside and I am very happy with them. I'm currently using it to make a small batch of recycled mahogany paneling and it's working great. If I were making a large batch I would use one of their tenon and groove drills, that would be more convenient. I bought a set of bearings so I can vary the depth of cut.
