Whiteside Router Bits RFTD2100 1/4-Inch Cutting Diameter and Spiral Flush Trim Bit with Down Cut

Just like my other Whitesides, this one is excellent. Smooth cuts. Accurate diameter.

This 1/4 trim bit works great with a handheld small trim router(both fixed and plunge base routers).

So far I love the white side router bits. They are sharp and leave almost no tear out. So you have very little winding to do afterwards. Iv bought Four bits from them and I already want more.

Reading the reviews, this seemed like the perfect pattern cut bit for me - large cutting length, a small diameter bearing, and good reviews. It worked extremely well to be honest, until the bearing failed. It overheated, broke, or something along those lines, after roughly 3 hours of use. That shouldnt happen. I contacted customer service through their site and have received no answer after a month so far. Buyer, be informed!

I am a huge Freud fan but thought that I would give Whiteside a try since I’ve heard a lot of good about them. This bit is second to none, hands down. It is quieter, smoother abs way faster than any straight fluted but I’ve ever used.

If one is using it in a trim router be very careful, it can grab and kick pretty easily. But it does a really nice job with the flush trim.

Absolutely amazing router bit. Well worth the cost.

Its Whiteside. Enough said.

This bit is absolutely incredible--the sharpest, cleanest cutting bit Ive ever used. There isnt much to say other than that this is the most well-machined and smooth-cutting bit Ive ever used (and I think I already said that in my last sentence). It blew through cuts removing 3/16 of endgrain of 3/4 bloodwood (which is really, really a bear to work with) with my little 1HP Bosch trim router. Not a hint of dust--only the most beautiful spiral shavings. After a fair bit of use, no sign of dulling, although I expect every bit has its day... Whiteside is an incredible company, manufacturing high-quality bits here in NC. If you need a good flush-trim bit for a 1/4 router, get this one. You should also do some research as to whether an upcutting or downcutting spiral bit is more suitable to your needs, and whether a top or bottom bearing bit is what you want. For me, this was perfect.

It does its job and does it well.
