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 purchased the 3000 and 3001 template bits and the 3000 was missing a set screw on arrival, for the price there should be zero flaws. I contacted Whiteside warranty department and have not received a response. The bits are nice and cut well, Customer service could be a little sharper...

Whiteside makes probably the best bits on the market. This bit holds up well and retains its sharpness. It’s worth the few extra dollars.

For the money, this is by far one of the best values for this type of router bit. Highly recommend it if you need this type of bit. Very sharp and has stayed sharp. You can tell when you look at it in person, it is a high quality bit, not like many of the cheaply manufactured bits you can get online.

I had to re-route a neck pocket in an alder body to widen it a bit. It's a 2 piece finished in polyester alder body I've got online from China. I've also got an acrylic neck pocket template (Musiclilly here on Amazon, looks like a half of the same template from Stewmac). After measuring 100 times I finally tried the router (Kobalt, the one that comes with a router table with an aluminum top). Wow! For starters, it didn't chip the finish anywhere! Not at the entry point, not at the exit point. Then I had to change the depth for the second run, and it followed the first cut perfectly. The walls look ideal, the bottom looks ideal, the only way to do it and this bit is the right tool!

I used this Whiteside Bit for mortising hinges on a cabinet I am building, using a guide template. The bit cuts very smooth mortise bottoms. The cut actually looks polished.Also the bit is exactly the same size as the guide bearing, which means there is little chisel work cleanup. just the corners. I like the accuracy.
