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.

This is a quality bit. This bit made cutting dovetail joints a breeze. Very sharp and held its edge after cutting several boards. Highly recommend.

Just made a dozen drawers out of oak, each drawer had 7 pins per corner, so have given a decent test for a review from the perspective of a home diy'er. Cut quickly and cleanly the last drawer as well as the first. So much quicker and smoother results than the mlcs bit that came with their jig.Thoroughly recommend for the home woodworker. I can't comment on heavy use but for light home projects this is an awesome bit. Maybe it is capable of sustaining a lot heavier use before dulling, certainly seems so.

I had a Freud bit for my leigh jig, and it cut well. But man on man, the difference is clearly noticeable! Also, the shaft is long enough with a bushing for the jig
