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.

I wish all my router bits were Whiteside, but they're the usual mixture of brands. In my opinion, Whiteside bits are as good as it gets. Since I saw the light about 12 - 15 years ago, I buy nothing else. They are a pleasure to use, and they maintain their sharpness for a long time. They're not the cheapest bits around by any measure, but they are a perfect example of getting what you pay for. Plus, they're made in the USA.

Exactly what I expected from Whiteside. Quality router bit at a reasonable price. Kudos to Hartsville for the prompt service.

Works pretty good, wasn’t exactly want I wanted but it did the job it was designed for.

This is one of the best made router bits I have ever used. I used it to make cove molding and it performed flawlessly!

Very nice cove bit! I used this to cut cove moldings on some butternut (photo shows a test piece with pine). I ran the bit at about 16000 rpm (recommended by mfr.) with my table mounted Porter Cable 690 (with a speed control) and it worked perfectly. Glass smooth cuts with no burning. I made multiple passes until I got the profile I wanted. I'm very happy with this bit - it's my fourth Whiteside router bit (all others are Freud), and I'm very happy.

This bit spun easily on my high-horsepower router and, by progressively cutting 1/8" passes, the wood was spinning off in thin ribbons and barely needed any sanding. A great addition for any woodworker that needs a large bit for big moldings.
