Whiteside Router Bits 3001 Template Bit with Ball Bearing

Typical quality you come to expect from whiteside.

cuts smooth and clean. used a few times to extend a miter slot on table saw extensions. worked perfectly.

Sharp, sturdy and does a perfect job

I needed a router bit that would match up with my template for a shallow beginning before I could use the bowl routing bits. The distance on the bowl bits was too great between the baring and the top of the cutter head, this bit was perfect for routing that gap.

Very nice bit. Cuts clean. Whiteside bits are first class.

Whiteside bits are generally the sharpest and cut best IMHO, but this bit had a annoying flaw. The bearing came loose and rode up, ruining the cut. I retightened the set screw only to have the same thing happen the next time around. Disappointed in this design.

I used this bit with a plunge router to inset two hinges using a template I created. The bit is very precise and sharp. I was cutting composite decking, which is relatively easy to cut, but the bit cut right through it. I will be buying more Whiteside bits.

Solid bit, cuts well. Great value for the money.

Works great for templates for door hardware.

Love those Whiteside router bits.
