Whiteside 2001 Bearing Router Bits Review

This is the difference between day and night compared to cheap jets. Cut faster and cleaner. Rounded baits are one of the most popular baits used by most and not worth skimping on.

Whiteside bits are top quality, made in the USA. Buying quality American goods at prices that reflect that quality is a priority here. It's great to have this option.

Fantastic quality. Used to route the edges of some very high quality Sapele and the edges were so perfect I hardly had to sand them. A big step forward from beginner router kits to pro-level tools.

Have been using Whiteside for quite some time. This particular piece came out more than shockingly sharp and retained its edge despite hundreds of feet of planks going through it. A quality bit cuts cleanly.

Works well. I have a Freud nozzle with a round nozzle, I like it better, but it also costs a little more. That's a pretty good value. I've only used it twice with a router bit and it worked well for both projects. Other than that, I can't comment on how well it works or doesn't hold up.

I'm new to the router department. I have a Porter wired router installed under a Bosch desk (both work great btw). I've tried different brands of knives. When I discovered Whiteside I had no choice. These things get very sharp, cut perfectly, burn minimally, keep sharpening. I am very happy.

This review is more representative of the seller than the product itself. The bit has only been used once to round out some walnut and maple. The bit shows signs of cracking and the edge profile was a little wobbly but I was able to sand it down. I left a review for the seller but did not receive a response. I understand that anything can happen and it is forgivable if the seller tries to rectify the situation. Instead I got crickets.
