Whiteside Router Bits D14-75 Dovetail Bit with 3/4-Inch Large Diameter 3/4-Inch Cutting Length

I’m not a professional but have done Woodwork for many years. Yes, the bits are more expensive but the quality is superior to what you get from other cheaper tool companies. I do metal work as well so I compare the quality. These bits stand up well in comparison to a good end mill. Clean lines, very sharp, and excellent materials make a good combination.Basically, if you think you’re in it for the long haul, this will last.

Bit seems to be good quality, but be careful removing the packaging. Sliced two fingers taking off the heat shrunk plastic around the bit and needed 7 stitches.

Bit was sharp and well balanced. What you would expect.

Smooth running and sharp. Nice bit.

I have used its sisters at 1/2 and 1 inch versions and I am plenty glad with them. The 1/2 inch bit is the most used for my furniture projects and the 1 inch version is used for applications involving bigger wood planks as my workbench I am currently working on.I used this particular bit only for a test making a tapered sliding dovetail and all indicates it is a par with its sisters in quality and performance. I purchased it as the intermediate tool for those so useful already used bits.Recommended.

The item was mislabeled from the manufacturer so I got the wrong size. I initiated the return and the retailer had the correct size out to me before I even got the return in the mail. As far as the bit, just what you’d expect from Whiteside.

I made a little jig, use used this to create huge dovetail joints (1.375 wide and 1" deep). This made smooth and beautiful cuts.I had a flaw in my jig that allowed the bit to hit part of a cast-iron tabletop. It made a smooth gouge in the cast iron, and did not suffer any bad results. Still razor sharp.

I have been a full time woodworker for a very long time,at least 3/4 of the years I’m on this earth, and I have found Whiteside to be the best router bit that “My” money can buy, and this of course is based on my not so humble opinion.
