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

Cuts fast and clean

It does its job and does it well.

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.

Love this bit. It replaced both my jigsaw and my flush trim bit for the project I was working on. Far superior to the previous bit I bought that broke on the first use. This has ran 53 4 ft by 3 ft template 3/4 in. plywood pieces through it. Still cuts miraculously. Great for template routing where you dont want to use a jigsaw to precut, not to mention much faster at it than a jigsaw.. This is currently my favorite bit.

I bought this bit after getting tearout with another brands flush trim bit. I used it to trim some ash, a wood notorious for tearout, edge banding down even with the plywood surface and had a glass smooth finish. This bit is the typical, excellent whiteside quality. Worth every penny.

Cant recommend high enough. Quality is leaps and bounds over the cheaper alternatives.

I have a healthy distrust for flush trim bits. I used to veneer cabinets for aircraft interior remodeling and every now and then, a bearing would fail, or the bit would find some other way to mar the piece. No arrangement of profanity will buy back the time you lose when this happens. Bought this bit after seeing it used on a YT channel. Seemed expensive, but I was working with expensive materials, and a short turnaround. After a few panels, I was able to settle into a more confident state of mind. Turns out a little extra $$ is totally worth it. Besides, its a very satisfying experience to see the edge this bit creates. Now I cant wait to use it again. : )

Used this for a speaker build that required veneer/panel edge flush cutting work. Very sharp even after trial cuts/all cuts and routes required for a set of Devore o/96 clones. Excellent bit and super price.

Absolutely amazing router bit. Well worth the cost.

Not sure if it was user error but whenever I use this it would leave scratch marks on the template wood that I was running the ball bearing part over. So I would have to go back and sand and smooth those areas out. I never had this problem with the Freud trim bit.
