The cutting situation determines the feed rate and speed. There are numerous variables to consider. For 18K RPM, your feed rate appears to be much too slow. I'm certain the bit is quickly becoming hot and dull. It is the heat, not the cutting process, that dulls the tool. Chiploads vary depending on the material being cut. One flute travels a certain distance in one rotation of the tool, which is referred to as chipload. The more heat that can be removed from a cutting chip, the larger it is. MDF, for example, will not produce a large enough chip to dissipate the heat, whereas a piece of pine will. If you have an excessively high RPM, you can quickly dull a tool. Please go to our eoasaw website and download my CNC Manual from the technical section for a more detailed discussion, chipload formulas, and so on. Any cutting situation follows the same principles. Please let us know if there's anything we can do to help. Thom, I appreciate your help.
This bit has a 1/4" shank. If you need a 1/2" shank, look at Whiteside part 1560, which is the same bit with the exception of the overall length being 1/4" longer.
This bit was purchased to do some intricate work on a coffee table that I was restoring. Unfortunately, the end result was not what I had hoped for. The bit is well-made and will create crisp v grooves for lettering on signs.

I've experimented with a number of different router bits. I bought the inexpensive ones when I first began woodworking. I gradually realized that cheap is more expensive in the long run because they do not last and the cut quality is poor. After that, I tried Whiteside after seeing a review on YouTube from Guys Workshop, and since then, I've only used Sommerfeld Tools router bits. I used this bit to make some awards boards for my previous military unit (picture included), so you can see how well it worked. There were two boards in total, and this is just one of them. I only used one bit, cleaned it in between boards, and didn't have to sand or clean the letters I routed out. In my test piece, I used a router bit from a well-known company that I bought from one of the big box stores, but it didn't have nearly the same quality in a much softer, easier wood to route. br>br>These router bits will not let you down.
I've used this bit to make a variety of signs so far; I own a small shop and have discovered that using strong, sharp bits makes life a lot easier. This bit has been used on my CNC for at least 50 medium signs and is still in excellent condition. This little guy keeps cutting smooth lines through white oak and maple, which I mostly cut through.
On the tip of this bit, there is a large flat area. At the very least, 0. When you carve something with detail, 01" may not seem like much. Every time I try Whiteside bits, I'm let down. I'm not even going to try this bit because the tip is clearly machined flat. The quality is poor.
Whiteside router bits are high-quality products that can withstand repeated use. I purchased this item in the hopes of using it to make stems for a project I'm working on. I wasn't entirely satisfied with the outcome. With that said, I'll keep this bit for use on another project in the future, and I have no complaints about its quality.
This bit was purchased primarily for use with my CNC router to make signs. It turned out to be a fantastic investment. This bit is excellent for making signs with a CNC router.
I've been using a Maslow M2 CNC to make signs with it. I'm not sure if I'm using the right feeds or speeds with the bit, but it seems to be working for me. I've made enough money selling the signs in the photo to cover the cost of this section several times over.
This is the part I should've picked up on from the start. This is the closest thing I've found to a perfect v tip. br>br>With this style of v bit, you must be careful because it appears to be a perfect "V" from one angle of the picture, but if you twist the bit 90 degrees, the carbide thickness can cause a flat bottom.
I've reverted to my cheap Chinese bit because it produces a much nicer result. For the price, I was extremely disappointed.
