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

Used this bit to replace a 60 degree v-bit that kept breaking off the tip. It ran flawlessly through 12-4x8 sheets of fir plywood at 1/16 deep. Afterwords examined the tip and cutting edge with a jewelers loupe and found it was almost as new. Highly recommend this for engraving and projects were a v-groove bit will break.

Excellent quality good price will buy again

Three flutes are great. Very smooth insertion with a plunge router and smooth sides to the cavity. A longer shaft would be nice for use in a plunge router making signs. Im using mine in a Bosch colt with plunge base. Would buy again.

Whiteside bits are excellent and this one was no different. Let me explain how I used it. I was making a rather complex cutting board for my music teacher brothers birthday. The plan called for a layer of ebony veneer to be glued between each of the keys to simulate a thin shadow. I ordered and returned several ebony veneer orders because they just were not uniformly black. So I departed from the plan and decided to vein the surface of the black walnut and hard maple keys and then apply ebony stain into the veins with an old ink pen. The 60 degree angle on the bit allowed me to lay the stain about 1/32nd of an inch deep giving me crisp black lines just below the surface. I then covered the lines with epoxy resin and sanded the excess epoxy off of the surface. It worked perfectly. BTW, this board was made for show not cutting foodstuffs.

As discribed

Clean edges sharp

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.

Super tool. Very sharp!!! Makes great wood inlays.

It arrived on time. This was important as I had a deadline to meet. It did the job I needed and I will use and order again as soon as I wear this bit out. Cost-wise these are cheap enough, I will not spend time trying to sharpen them.

Great bit. Cuts wood like butter and makes very clean cuts. Will buy again.
