Review: Whiteside Router Bits RU5200T Three Flute with 1/2" Shank, Solid Carbide - I purchased this VERY NICE 1/2" bit in 12/2015, it has performed exceptionally well, in many different species from Hard Maple, Purpleheart, Bubinga, Zebrawood, EVEN twisted grain Rustic Knotty Hickory- every project I use this bit on, comes out with almost "NO" strands of grain hanging in the cut, I have been building "Heirloom Quality" Custom Woodwork for 35+ years and when I can find a well cutting router bit such as this, I "baby" it- never "Hog" into any cuts, keep it clean and sharp- the fact that it has "3" flutes is partially why it out performs all other 1/2" bits, the "secret" behind this is a very tight microstructure of carbide AND proper "Heat Treatment"- when hardening and tempering a very complex matrix that lends to the ability for this bit to stay sharp- it requires a very lengthy time and proper internal tension relief (I worked as a Metalsmith for 3 years) and the shop that has the ability to perform the processes (and the "Person" to Q.A. the processes) is VERY costly, I will be buying more of this type of bit as soon as I can find a good price (this is a very good price) I would like some different sizes, I have $5,000.00 invested in my Router Table (not including the bits, the JessEm hold downs) - if you take care of good equipment, it will last for generations- Thanks desertcart for the reviews, the folks who take time to write them, and to "Whiteside" for such a wonderful bit- Happy Wood Shavings !
