More router bit ?

Thanks for the heads up. That was what the photo posted looked like. I bought them using a credit card off Amazon so I'm pretty safe. I got a notice that they had shipped so I ought to have them next week.

The more I read about Whiteside bits the better I like 'em.

I ordered a set of those Whiteside roundovers a month or so ago and they were legit right down to the box, coating, foam, instructions, bearing, wrench and label. They cut real nice too.

I bought a cheap bit and had the shaft snap while cutting. Fortunately it didn't hit me but could have been serious. Go with the good brands.

That's a great deal, glad they worked out.

I got the Whiteside roundover/beading bit kit today. Exactly as represented, the 501 set 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 3/4 with extra bearing and allen wrench in plastic box. Bits have the plastic coating on 'em and everything. About $65 with shipping. The outfit is called Camargo Enterprises on Amazon.

A quick comparison of a 3/8" roundover bit from the cheap Chinese set 8 1/2" bits for $12.50 and the Whiteside set 4 bits for $65. Carbide on the Chinese bit about 0.055" thick. On the Whiteside about 0.110, twice a thick. The Whiteside bit cut noticebly better on 3/4" MDF. Bearing on both bits look and feel identical.

That is a great price on a great set. At that price I am tempted to pick up a set of spares.

That same seller had the 7 piece stsrt set for $60 as well. Not sure if they still do. I had jsut bought a bunch of new bits when I saw it and couldn't justify it.

They don't have that one anymore. Looking at their store it's only the 501 set. I am curious though where they get them from because if they pay regular dealer cost they lost money on that deal.

Glad this worked out for you. Can you provide a link to that seller on Amazon, please? I've looked but can't seem to find it. Thanks.
