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

Great American made quality. No China crap here. Ive been using bits from Whiteside for years and they are definitely quality made and work perfectly. They may cost a little more than the China junk , but they are totally worth it.

Im giving this a five star review even though the product picture is completely wrong. I have used this product for a couple of years and new what I was buying. It is actually a three flute 1/4dia 60° router bit. Very sharp and lasts longer than any bit that I have ever used, and as a sign making business cutting red oak 8 hrs a day, we have used a lot of bits.

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.

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.

great value and quality

Great for the money

As discribed

Sharp, solid and useful.

Works very well

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.
