Title: Whiteside 1 1/8" Template Bit with Ball Bearing Guide
Review: I used this bit to square up the top of 4"X4" pressure-treated pine newel posts on my deck, prior to attaching the post caps. The newel posts had twisted before I could install all the railing between the newels, so much that I couldn't square up the post caps with the railing after it had been installed. I used a 3.5" X 3.5" X 1/2" plywood pattern and tacked it on the top of the newel posts square with the top rails and routed the top 1 1/2" of the newels to re-square them. This bit worked like a charm, cutting the treated posts like hot butter. The diameter and mass of this two-fluted bit left a satin smooth finish and allowd me to complete the squaring process on 42 newel posts in just a few hours time. Definitely recommended for making deep template-guided cuts!
