Tobykanobe Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 I ordered one of these and it will ship soon. I'm wondering if any of you can lend advice on the bit. They also have the Whiteside Spiral Upcut bit for sale for $50. Any advice on this bit as a good purchase or any others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom King Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 The bit has the right name on it, so they are always good. The edges of those spiral bits are sharper than you might think. Handle very carefully, or your work will get some red stain that is not part of the planned finishing system. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tobykanobe Posted June 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 Thanks for the input. I'm getting ready to order, but I have another question. Keeping this jig in mind, I've noticed that there are several lengths of bits. Being that the main purpose for this will be to cut dados for cabinets, what length would you recommend? The one for $50 is 1.5 inches in length and cuts a 1/2" diameter. They are almost all on sale, but I thought I would ask for a length recommendation being that I have not done this before.
