Whiteside Router Bits RU5200T: High-Performance Diameter for Precision Routing Review

I guess I have about 50 bits, but more than half of what I paid for it came from just two of these bits. Both were whiteside beats. The other was 7/8" flush with bearings on both ends which was a pleasure to use. This is the second 1/2" spiral nozzle. Another cracked when a Porter Cable-style brass bushing came loose and jammed. a little in the thorn he cut. These carbide bits will definitely break if placed in such situations. But they make up for it by cutting _way_ cleaner than regular…

From what I could measure with a digital caliper, the diameter was as close as possible to .500 inches as advertised. Cuts in veneered plywood are clean, with no chips both across and along the grain. The bottom of the incision was flat and smooth. Beat exceeded my expectations and needs in every way. This is an UPDATE. I have used it several times since the first review and felt compelled to give it praise. This beat exceeded my expectations. expectations with each use. This is the sharpest…

, EVEN rustic knotty hickory twisted grain - every project I use this tip on comes up with almost none hanging grain strands out in the cut This one I have "baby" - never hammer it into any cuts, keep it clean and sharp - the fact that it has the "3" groove is partly why it does outperforms all other 1/2" bits, the "secret" of this lies in the very dense carbide microstructure AND the proper "heat treatment" - when quenched and tempered, a very complex stamp that gives this bit its ability…
