Whiteside Router Bits 3001 Template Bit with Ball Bearing

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

Sharp, sturdy and does a perfect job

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

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.

Works great for templates for door hardware.

Typical quality you come to expect from whiteside.

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

Love those Whiteside router bits.

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.
