WhitesideRouter Bits 2001 Round Over Bit with Ball Bearing

I have been using whiteside for quite some time now. This particular bit came more than scary sharp and has maintained its sharpness despite running hundreds of board feet of edges through. Quality bit cuts clean.

It works well. I have a Freud “quad-cut” round over bit that I like better, but it also costs a bit more. Its a pretty good value. I have only used it twice with a trim router and it has worked well for both projects. That being said, I cannot speak to how well it does or doesn’t last.

Whiteside router bits are the best. They last much longer than the brands sold at the lumber yards and hardware stores. Highly recommend.

This review is as much of a reflection on the seller than the product itself. The bit was used only once, to round over some walnut and some maple. The bit shows evidence of cracking and the edge profile was a little wonky, but I was able to sand it out. I left feedback for the seller, but got no response. I understand that things happen, and it's forgivable if the seller attempts to communicate to make it right. I got crickets instead.

I'm a newbie in the router department. I have a Porter Cable router, mounted under a Bosch table (both work great, BTW). I tried a bunch of different router bit brands. Once I discovered Whiteside, there was no other choice for me. These things come very sharp, cut great, minimal burn, hold an edge. I'm very pleased.

It’s a whiteside router bit, not much else needs to be said. They hold up well and are wonderfully made, best ones I’ve used.

It's a night and day difference compared to using the cheap bits. Faster and cleaner cuts. Round over bits are one of the most popular bits most will use, it's not worth cheaping out on.

Good tools are always worth the money. They work better and last longer.
