Whiteside Machine Company has been in the router bit business for over 30 years providing customer with quality products while at the same time striving to achieve complete customer satisfaction. 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.

If you're like me and realize a juice groove is far more decorative than functional, this is the perfect bit for 12x18 boards. Looks proportional to the board size and gives another dimension to the grain or patterns. Minimal burning, just make light passes until you find it to your liking. Works great in my cordless makita router.

I bought this bit for cutting a groove around an oak cutting board. Excellent clean cut. I also appreciate Whiteside bits being made in the USA.

I’ve made close to 30 juice grooves with this but so far and it’s still going strong. I have 4 premium brand router bits and Whiteside is my favorite. When the need came for this type of bit, Whiteside was the first choice. Very sharp, great value and quality as always

Cry once, buy once. Expensive and worth every dime. When you take pride in your work, this is the bit to buy.

When routing a groove the bit leaves a small strip at the bottom of the groove that is ripped rather than cut so it is not easily sanded. Expected better of this expensive bit. My cheap bits (both smaller and larger) cut the whole groove with a smooth bottom. Unusual case in that you don't always get what you pay for.
