Several woodworking magazines have tested Whiteside versus the competition and selected Whiteside as the winner for best router bits available in the market. Whiteside Machine Company was founded in 1970 as a general purpose machine shop in the basement of Bill & Bobbie Whiteside's home. Located in Western North Carolina near the furniture manufacturing town of Hickory, the company was often involved in making repairs or special parts for the furniture and woodworking field. A strong commitment to customer problem-solving, a can-do attitude, and innovative ideas, along with a growing core of dedicated employees, helped the business evolve into a manufacturer of woodworking equipment and tooling. Primarily through repeat business and referrals, the tooling business continued to grow to meet a demand for quality production router bits as well as custom application tooling. Today, Whiteside Machine occupies a 40,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility and produces a complete line of solid carbide and carbide tipped router bits. Whiteside's quality, innovation, and customer commitment is still present in our superb product line, in the design of custom tooling to fill special customer requirements, and in the development of special machinery and tooling for our own manufacturing use. As always, Whiteside Machine is continuously striving to improve our product through new technology, improved production techniques, and ongoing research and development efforts; along with rigid quality control, vital customer feedback and extensive field testing. Whiteside Machine Company.

The Whiteside 45 degree miter bit is actually at 45 degrees and cuts incredably well unlike its cheaper counterpart. Don't get frustrated and waste your time, money and material. Although it is more expensive, the Whiteside is worth every penny.

I’m very disappointed that this was packaged in a bubble wrap envelope! Zero protection!Every other shaper bit I’ve ever ordered came in a plastic box. It has a very small chip, but can’t wait for another one.

Picked up this router bit primarily for chamfering drawer fronts and tops and it absolutely did not disappoint. Did a test cut on some poplar to get my depth dialed in and then switched over to hard maple. The chamfer came out very clean with no burn or tear out. Whiteside bits Have been the gold Standard as far as I am concerned

Whiteside bits are high quality and worth the cost. The chamfer bit is one of my most used, it works great.

I bought this bit for a project intending to use it with my handheld router. It’s too big for the stock base, so I made my own base. It’s really for mounted routers where the plate is adjustable for larger bits.As expected, it produces very clean and smooth cuts. I have curves that need a chamfer, so I used both regular and climb cuts. If you’re not careful, it will pull the router away from you.All in , it’s a great bit that fit my project (and budget) well.

This a beefy bit. Very heavy, and very sharp. Cut through hard maple with ease, no tear out. Highly recommended.
