WhitesideRouter Bits 401 Basic Router Bit with 1/2-Inch Shank

Make a lot of different items in my wood shop and have found that white side router bits are the best there are when it comes to woodworking!

There’s a lot of really basic Rutter bits in this kit and you can do a lot with it. The price is good and the quality is fantastic. I’ve bought a few budget brand router bits, and I’ve noticed that they cut much rougher and they can burn a little. No issues like that with these to be honest I had to change a little of my habits because these things got it right the first time.p

Exactly what my husband needed for his workshop.

I got a Dewalt router as a gift, then purchased this bit set after seeing several reviews and recommendations on YouTube. My first project was to route out some insets for hinges on a folding table. The bits are very sharp, making short work of the project. The key to easy routing is not to cut too deep with each pass. These bits are a bit pricey, but if you want quality bits that will work for quite a while, these are them.

I'm a relatively newer woodworking weekend warrior. I recently bought a router and router table (my second, but the first one was so bad it doesn't count). It's difficult to tell these bits apart from cheaper models, at least to my eye. What I can tell you is that once you start cutting, you will be glad you bought these. I don't have a lot to compare these with since I've not used many prior to this. What I can say is that there is not a worse feeling than spending money (Yes even on the cheap things) on something only to have it do a poor job. If you don't like gambling with your time and money, just buy Whiteside. If like me, this is all you've used, you will think routing is relatively easy and painless. While you don't always get what you pay for, there is a significantly higher probability that you do get better items by paying a premium. All I can say is don't get sucked into buying the cheap stuff. You will not reqret this set for those wanting to get started. You will also come to see that these prices really are not that bad for what you get.

These work great and will last a long time.The carry case is nice.My only compliant is that, unlike a Freud and others, they do not label the bits with graphic of the cut AND more importantly they do not label the bit with dimensions.Other than that great stuff here

Whiteside is among the very best you can buy, and people that know routing will undoubtedly agree. You won't regret buying themThe bonus is that this is, in fact, an excellent selection of bits for someone just getting their feet wet. They are all bits that you're likely to use again and again. You can buy a bigger selection for a lot less money here or at the big box store, but you'll end up with a bunch of cheap bits, most of which you'll use once and never need again. Ask youself, do you want a $3 bit spinning at 25,000 rpm, inches in front of your face?I have no connection to Whiteside or anyone else, just impressed with the quality and selection in this set.P.S. Whiteside, how about putting some labeling in the box with these bits? C'mon, give us a break!

These things are awesome. When you've been using those cheapo 30 packs of 3/8" shank crappy steel. You thought they were good cause there were tons of them... these will make you see the light of day. Perfect basic set. We've been using on the bosch router, just handdheld, because our router table is on the way way back order. But these are still incredible. Buy them. For reals.
