Praise for Whiteside router bits

I always lean toward the cheapest workable solution. Almost all my tools are CL finds, for instance. I didn't go bottom of the barrel for most of my router bits, but I didn't spend a ton either. In the last three months I have purchased 3 Whiteside bits, straight 1/4" and 3/8" and a rabbeting bit set. I had purchased a cheap (in every way) rabbeting set because I didn't think I'd use it much. Instead, the cheap rabbeting bit chewed up the frames I was working on.

I am stunned at how clean all three of these bits cut. I will buy Whiteside bits going forward.

I certainly agree with your decision. I have purchased and use the Whiteside bits. I have a 6 piece set of 1/2" shaft and 5 single 1/4" shaft speciality bits. All cut super and are somewhat cheaper than other Freud bits I also own.

I feel that Whiteside bits are the best available. I have been using them for about 10 years now and have replaced any other worn bits from other brands with Whiteside. Quality always is the best value in the long run.
