Whiteside Router Bits RD1600 Standard Spiral Bit with Down Cut Solid Carbide 1/8-Inch Cutting Diameter and 1/2-Inch Cutting Length

Best .25 end mill period.. this is my second purchase. Used first one daily for 6+ months.

Love it getting better sheets per bit with this brand than well know brands that are twice the price Customer for life

I only use whiteside bits and this is a premium spiral bit that can last quite a while. I carve wood signs and I rely on Whiteside bits for crisp cuts, razor sharp accuracy and long tool life. My #1 choice hands down!

worked perfect. very durable when using in a CNC.

I like this bit like my other Whiteside bits. Woodworking is only my hobby so I cant attest to the longevity/durability of the bit. I have used this bit with a small trim router mounted on a table. Ive checked the resulting cuts with my calipers and the bit cuts accurately and cleanly. The spiraling left clean surface edges and pushed the chips into the dado as I expected. I mostly made incremental passes at 1/8 depth but the few that I did at 1/4 depth looking just as clean but needed to go a little slower. I did notice that this bit was a tad bit harder to get into the collet of my router. When I checked the shaft, it appeared to be about .001 larger than the ones I compared it to. This seems to be within acceptable tolerance to me so I chocked it up to being new.

Have no issues with this bit

Best bits I have found for retaining a cutting edge.

Nice clean cuts. Not over priced. I love Whiteside bits.

Needed it to make some name puzzle and it definitely got the job done with minimal sanding being a downcut bit. Would recommended!

Solid carbide and quality metal.
