Whiteside
$29.95
Overview
The Whiteside RU1800 bridges the gap between 1/8" and 1/4" cutting diameters while maintaining the stability of a 1/4" shank. The 3/16" cutting diameter is perfect for medium-detail work where 1/4" is too large but 1/8" lacks rigidity. A favorite among sign makers and inlay artists.
Best for
Mid-size detail work in wood with the rigidity of a 1/4" shank.
