Whiteside Router Bits 1550 V-Groove 60-Degree 1/2-Inch Cutting Diameter and 7/16-Inch Point Length

not a bad product. so far so good/

Works great, use this with my shapeoko xxl. Hasnt let me down. Many unions have been carved with this bad boy.

As someone who is still new to CNC, I’m still learning what bits to use in certain situations, but I can say this one took my results to the next level. If you’re like I was — only ever using 1/8” or 1/4” end mill bits because you don’t know any better — get one of these. The price is right, the quality is solid, and the company is reputable. You’ll be impressed how much the quality of your carving improves.

As with all Whiteside bits, they are quality without the high price. Im using this in my Shapeoko 3 so it doesnt get a ton of heat build up. Im not sure how well itd work in an industrial setting though.

The V is so precise. I had used a CMT contractor tools 60 degree v bit, but it was poorly ground and left sidewall grooves. This bit does a beautiful job and leaves only perfection.

It is worth it when you pull your first cut off the bed. If you are here thinking of buying this, just do it.

I have used a variety of router bits. When I first started woodworking, I bought the cheap ones. I gradually learned that cheap means more in the long run because they dont last and the cut quality is not very good. I then tried Whiteside based on a review from Guys Workshop on YouTube and since purchasing them, I wont go with any other router bit with the exception of Sommerfeld Tools router bits. I used this bit to make some awards boards for my prior military unit (Picture Included) and you can get an idea of how well the router bit held up. That is just one board, there were two in total. I used the one bit, cleaned it between boards and had no sanding or clean up to do on the letters I routed out. My test piece I used a router bit from a good named company I purchased from one of the big box stores and in a much softer easier wood to route, did not have near as good quality. You wont be disappointed with these router bits.

Whiteside router bits are quality made that stand up to rigorous use. I bought this bit thinking it would work it create stems for a project I’m working on. The result wasn’t quite what I was looking for. With that being said I’ll keep this bit for future use on another project. I have no complaints about the quality of this bit.

I have been making signs with this using a maslow M2 CNC. I am not sure that I am using the bit with the correct feeds or speeds but it is working out for me nonetheless. I have made enough off of selling the types of signs in the photo to pay for this bit several times over.

It’s what you expect it to do. Will buy more Soon.
