Whiteside Router Bits 3001 Template Bit with Ball Bearing

This bit cuts very cleanly. Only needed light edge sanding after making the cut.

Whiteside bits are great! I own several and have never been let down.

Sharp, sturdy and does a perfect job

Works great for templates for door hardware.

For the money, this is by far one of the best values for this type of router bit. Highly recommend it if you need this type of bit. Very sharp and has stayed sharp. You can tell when you look at it in person, it is a high quality bit, not like many of the cheaply manufactured bits you can get online.

Check the screw that hold the retainer of the bearing every time before using it ,But still on the 2nd time I lost it in the middle of the project and messed up the red oak ,Not expecting an US made bit will be like those Chinese cheap ones

Great

I’m building shed doors using half lap construction. I ordered this bit to hog out the joints... the 1/4 inch bit worked just fine, but I should have ordered a 1/2 inch shank rather than 1/4. No fault of the bit, I was trying to save money, and now it’s going to cost me twice as much, because I just ordered a 1/2 shank bit replacement. This bit is fantastic for small projects, but don’t try to overload it.

Quality American made bit. I own several Whiteside bits. Yes, they are more expensive than the cheap Chinese made bits that are everywhere. The difference is the accuracy and longevity.

Typical quality you come to expect from whiteside.
