Whiteside Router Bits RD2100 Standard Spiral Bit with Down Cut Solid Carbide 1/4-Inch Cutting Diameter and 1-Inch Cutting Length

nice tool,made some nice box joints

I recently purchased the Whiteside Router Bits RD2100 Standard Spiral Bit with Down Cut Solid Carbide, and I am extremely pleased with its performance. The 1/4-inch cutting diameter and 1-inch cutting length make it versatile for various woodworking projects. The solid carbide construction ensures durability and longevity, making it a great investment. One of the standout features of this router bit is its down-cut design. It produces clean cuts on the top surface of the material, minimizing chip-out and leaving a smooth finish. This is particularly beneficial when working with veneers or fragile materials. I found that the bit performed exceptionally well in both hardwood and softwood. It maintained its sharpness throughout extended use, resulting in precise and accurate cuts. The spiral design also helps with chip evacuation, reducing the chances of clogging and heat build-up. The build quality of the Whiteside Router Bits RD2100 is impressive, and it fits securely in my router. The bit is also easy to clean and maintain. Overall, I highly recommend the Whiteside Router Bits RD2100 Standard Spiral Bit with Down Cut Solid Carbide. It delivers excellent results, offers versatility, and is built to last. Whether you are a professional woodworker or a hobbyist, this router bit will not disappoint. Disclosure: I received no compensation for this review.

Saw dust comes out in flakes instead of dust! Love these whiteside bits. Highly recommended

Worked as intended. White Side bits work well for me.

I use this in my CNC for cutting wood. I was using a Niagara 1/4” endmill before. It was cutting okay but was starting to leave really stringy cuts in pine and birch plywood. Pretty sure it was getting dull, but still never cut as well as this one. It was also not cutting dimensionally accurate at all, and the cuts showed some lines (both of which I attributed to the CNC setup, not the bit). I’ve never been let down by Whiteside so I decided to order up a couple of these. MAN AM I GLAD I DID! The cut quality was SO MUCH better AND more accurate with this bit!! Just changing to this bit made my dimensions 100% accurate, and saved me SO. MUCH. SANDING. SO. SO. MUCH. Because I’m using this to make products to sell, this bit literally is saving me money on my finished products, by way of saving me many hours of sanding/finish work. I’ve had good luck and spoke highly of Whiteside before, but now I’m straight up a Whiteside evangelist! I’ve had great luck with Whiteside, Freud and Amana bits. Those cheaper bits can get the job done (like Ryobi), I’ve really found lately that the finished cuts coming off quality bits really is worth the extra couple bucks.

I am new to CNC carving, and purchased a few starter bits, this being one of them. I can tell the difference between the higher quality bits and the "get what you pay for" bits. This bit is very sharp and does a nice job. Very little tearing of the edges of the wood. The bit wasn't very much more expensive than the cheap ones, and has lived up to my expectations so far. Would recommend Whiteside bits right up there with Amana bits. I just ordered a 3 piece set of Whiteside ballnose bits for 3D(2.5D) carving, can't wait to try them as my "get what you pay for" bits are dull already.

I have to leave a good review for this White side router bit. What a difference from using cheap bits. The Whiteside bit cuts smooth and easily. I intend to buy all Whiteside bits as I need them.

Great quality, still cutting the same after many hours of use, great value for the money
