Whiteside Machine Company was founded in 1970 by Bill and Bobbie Whiteside in their home basement in Western North Carolina. Initially a general-purpose machine shop, the business focused on repairing and creating parts for the local woodworking and furniture industry. With a commitment to quality, problem-solving, and innovation, the company grew into a full-fledged manufacturer of woodworking equipment and router bits. Today, Whiteside operates out of a 40,000 sq. ft. facility, producing a comprehensive range of solid carbide and carbide-tipped router bits. Family-owned and dedicated to quality, Whiteside continues to innovate through advanced production techniques and customer feedback.
