Whiteside Router Bits 1541 V-Groove 60-Degree 1/4-Inch Cutting Diameter and 7/32-Inch Point Length

Excellent quality good price will buy again

This cutter performs flawlessly doing some V-carving in MDF and oak. I also used it on some acrylic, but realized that the acrylic was not the right kind of acrylic to use for machining, so I imagine the bit will perform good with cast acrylic instead of the extruded which I was using.

As discribed

Dont use the photo for this item to decide if this is the right bit... the photo is incorrect! I also found that photos on the manufacturers website were also misleading, but the descriptions are correct. The Whiteside #1541 is a solid carbide 60° V-groove bit that is 1/4 in diameter, has a 1/4 shank, and a 3-flute cutting point. I purchased this bit to use in router-carving wood signs, and it performs exceptionally well in this role. The tool is very sharp and has maintained its edge well through use. Great value for the money!

Clean edges sharp

The picture in the search is incorrect, the picture in the main body is correct. These are very nice bit, sharp and great at cutting hard woods like maple and walnut.

I don’t think that this bit is any better than the Foos 60 degree bit. The Foos has a sharper point and is comparable in price.

These bits are awesome, they stay sharp for sooo long running them on my CNC and they dont cost much at all, I used one for 6 months and it was still cutting great, bought another just because it seemed time to replace it.. definitely didnt need to though. Seems everyone is buying the Amana bit with replacement carbide inserts now,they will originally run you a lot of money and replacement inserts cost as much as this bit, I highly recommend this bit for v carving.

With two projects done so far but I am very pleased with the clean cut. Ive used it to cut decorative borders in hard maple cribbage boards. The bit cuts to a point with no flat spot on the end. Very happy with the bit.

great value and quality
