Whiteside Machine Company. Review: Great Bit! - I love this 1/8" router bit. I use it for my CNC and it is perfect for cutting out shapes. I like it because it leave a nice clean cut, and it does not was a lot of wood to cut out a shape. On some more expensive hardwoods, it is nice to not waste wood, as I can cut more shapes from it. I also use this bit a lot, perhaps more than any other bit, and it seems to stay sharp and still works great. There are times when I wish the cutting length was longer, but I suppose with this narrow of a bit, it may not be as strong with a longer length. Review: Perfect small router bit. - Sharp. Cuts clean. I bought it for a small parts project. Made perfect dados. ## Features - TOOL SPECS: Solid carbide, upcut spiral with 1/8" cutting diameter, 1/4" shank, 1/2" cutting length, and 2" overall length for use in routers with a 1/4" collet. - UP CUT SPIRAL: For smooth finishes and rapid chip removal.
