Whiteside Router Bits RU1600 Standard Spiral Bit with Up Cut Solid Carbide 1/8-Inch Cutting Diameter and 1/2-Inch Cutting Length

I love this 1/8" router bit. I use it for my CNC and it is perfect for cutting out shapes. I like it because it leave a nice clean cut, and it does not was a lot of wood to cut out a shape. On some more expensive hardwoods, it is nice to not waste wood, as I can cut more shapes from it. I also use this bit a lot, perhaps more than any other bit, and it seems to stay sharp and still works great. There are times when I wish the cutting length was longer, but I suppose with this narrow of a bit, it may not be as strong with a longer length.

Sharp. Cuts clean. I bought it for a small parts project. Made perfect dados.

This spiral upcut is very sharp, leaves clean cuts and lasts long under demanding routing! It's a great value because they will easily out perform, outlast cheaper bargain bits. Best of all, they are made in USA!

It's sharp and works for template routing.

Well made router bit. It cuts a clean groove but when used on a router table it didn't clear the chips as well as I thought it would.

It is a good strong bit. I used it to cut a groove in walnut and had zero issues with it. I would buy it again if I had to.

Whiteside is my go-to brand for router bits, period. I've tried several other brands and nothing compares. The quality is perfect and they stay sharp forever (ok "so far" - but after many uses there's zero change in their sharpness). I got this particular bit to cut grooves for box bases and I couldn't be happier with it.

Worked perfect for the project I was working on.
