I use this bits on a 1619 bosch plunging router. The have been outstanding.

You can forget the need for sanding, these leave a planer like finish. The instructions are pretty much useless but hey it's just changing bearings. The only way i could possible think to make these better would be to stamp the size on the bears.

I haven't ruined a cut yet and if god help me i hit a nail tomorrow.I would buy them again.

These were my first whiteside bits and I'm going back for more.

I purchased this bit from Laguna Tools through Amazon. I used free shipping and still received it within 5 days. The bit set itself is excellent and a terrific value over purchasing bits and bearing separately. I used the bit within a few days of receiving it at found it to give excellent results. I don't think you can go wrong with this one.

I'm all for a revival of Made in USA products. Not true that US made products are always expensive; even so, it is still worth it and often times you get what you pay for. This product is certainly not the most expensive but worth every penny in performance. I used it on my router table using only a 2-1/2 hp router. It cuts rabbets as if the workpiece (hardwood) I was working on was pine. Very precise, clean cuts and the bits are easy to install and remove. The instruction couldn't have been more clear. Great product.
