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

I’ve tried a lot of bits looking for something that works well for milling details into wood. This bit is by far the best I’ve used yet. As long as they stay sharp for a reasonable amount of time I see no reason to look any further.

Great Whiteside quality. I broke the original bit that came with the inlay kit, and this new one was just as good as the original. My top preferred brand for more than fifteen years.

Made in USA by Whiteside. Enough said give it 6 stars in my book

This is among the most reliable bits I have in my arsenal. Well worth the money!

Amazing and clean cut I am very pleased

Clean Cut

I like buying a high quality, US manufactured product at a fair price. Fast shipping is a plus. I am using the bit for my CNC

was sent the upcut instead of down cut. its still a great bit, just not what I wanted for my CNC.

I use these bits for professional level inlay work. The carbide is delicate because of the small diameter of the blade. Go slow, and take several passes to achieve the final depth of cut. If you push the blade too hard too fast it can break, but that’s the nature of carbide.

I really cant recommend these bits. The first ones I ordered worked fair. The cut was a little rough but the two I purchased this time didnt last at all. Im cutting out puzzle pieces in 1/4 Baltic birch plywood. I usually get 5 to 6 large velociraptors out of a bit. Half way through the first one I had to retire the brand new bit. It was cutting rough and burning the cut so badly that I cant use the parts I cut out--wasted the material. I guess you get what you pay for! These cheap end mills arent even worth the effort.
