WhitesideRouter Bits RFTD2100 1/4-Inch Cutting Diameter and Spiral Flush Trim Bit with Down Cut

This bit worked great trimming red oak edge banding I made. In combination with the FastCap Little Lipper it cut a perfectly smooth edge.

I use this bit with acrylic templates for charcuterie board handles. Cuts smooth, no tear out, and glides with ease. I will definitely be buying more bits from whiteside.

This bit is absolutely incredible--the sharpest, cleanest cutting bit I've ever used. There isn't much to say other than that this is the most well-machined and smooth-cutting bit I've ever used (and I think I already said that in my last sentence). It blew through cuts removing 3/16" of endgrain of 3/4" bloodwood (which is really, really a bear to work with) with my little 1HP Bosch trim router. Not a hint of dust--only the most beautiful spiral shavings. After a fair bit of use, no sign of dulling, although I expect every bit has its day... Whiteside is an incredible company, manufacturing high-quality bits here in NC. If you need a good flush-trim bit for a 1/4" router, get this one. You should also do some research as to whether an upcutting or downcutting spiral bit is more suitable to your needs, and whether a top or bottom bearing bit is what you want. For me, this was perfect.

Just get this one. It's miles better than any of the colored Amazon brands you'll see on here. This thing absolutely chews through zip sheeting when routing out rough ins during framing. Hit a couple nails with it and it didn't even chip surprisingly

I have a healthy distrust for flush trim bits. I used to veneer cabinets for aircraft interior remodeling and every now and then, a bearing would fail, or the bit would find some other way to mar the piece. No arrangement of profanity will buy back the time you lose when this happens.Bought this bit after seeing it used on a YT channel. Seemed expensive, but I was working with expensive materials, and a short turnaround. After a few panels, I was able to settle into a more confident state of mind. Turns out a little extra $$ is totally worth it. Besides, it's a very satisfying experience to see the edge this bit creates.Now I can't wait to use it again. : )

Cant recommend high enough. Quality is leaps and bounds over the cheaper alternatives.

When tight a radius needs flush trimming this is your bit.

This 1/4" trim bit works great with a handheld small trim router(both fixed and plunge base routers).
