The competing reseller must be authorized by the manufacturer to sell their product, have it in stock, and the company name must be verified. Holbren will price match drop ship items if we have to drop ship as well and that would only be some models of Byrd heads. Authorized resellers do not include Ebay sellers or other online sales websites where the name may be different than the company name and unverifiable.
Price match guarantees are for the cost of the item and any applicable shipping a competitor may charge and include any sales, promotions or free shipping specials from competitors.

Meet the Whiteside UD5162M Up/Down Compression Bit, a solid carbide router bit designed for precise mortising and clean edge routing. Built for woodworkers, cabinetmakers, and serious hobbyists who demand durability and consistent finishes.
Features
- Cutting Diameter: 1/2"
- Cut Length: 1-5/8"
- Overall Length: 3-1/2"
- Shank: 1/2"
- Material: Solid Carbide
- Flutes: 3+3 compression flutes
- Tip: 1/4" mortise-style up-cut
- Configuration: Up/Down compression bit
Benefits
The compression design minimizes tear-out on both sides of the cut, delivering smooth mortises and clean edge routing. The 3+3 flute arrangement provides efficient chip evacuation and a smooth finish, even in hardwoods and composites.
Solid carbide construction delivers long tool life and consistent performance, while the 1/2" shank offers rigidity and compatibility with most routers. The 1/4" mortise-tip enables precise mortising for through and half-blot joints, making it ideal for cabinetry, joinery, and decorative inlays.
