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 spiral upcut is very sharp, leaves clean cuts and lasts long under demanding routing! It's a great value because they will easily out perform, outlast cheaper bargain bits. Best of all, they are made in USA!

Well made router bit. It cuts a clean groove but when used on a router table it didn't clear the chips as well as I thought it would.

Whiteside is my go-to brand for router bits, period. I've tried several other brands and nothing compares. The quality is perfect and they stay sharp forever (ok "so far" - but after many uses there's zero change in their sharpness). I got this particular bit to cut grooves for box bases and I couldn't be happier with it.

I love this 1/8" router bit. I use it for my CNC and it is perfect for cutting out shapes. I like it because it leave a nice clean cut, and it does not was a lot of wood to cut out a shape. On some more expensive hardwoods, it is nice to not waste wood, as I can cut more shapes from it.I also use this bit a lot, perhaps more than any other bit, and it seems to stay sharp and still works great.There are times when I wish the cutting length was longer, but I suppose with this narrow of a bit, it may not be as strong with a longer length.
