Up Cut:

Providing state-of-the-art results in flush trimming, this bit can perform in extremely tight corners.  The bit uses a solid pilot against your project template while the up cut flutes pull chips up and away from the router, leaving a smooth bottom surface. 

Down Cut:

Providing state-of-the-art results in flush trimming, this bit can perform in extremely tight corners.  The bit uses a solid pilot against your project template while the down cut flutes expel chips down and away from the router, leaving a smooth top surface. 

Compression:

These spiral bits offer state-of-the-art results in flush trimming. Made from solid carbide, each bit contains up cut and down cut flutes and is tipped with a double ball bearing guide. This flute design creates a compression cut that prevents fraying and splintering. Compression spirals will save you time and money on finishing your projects edges by reducing sanding time.

Materials: Natural woods, composites, hard plastics, thin aluminum

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.

Whiteside Router Bits have twice earned top ratings in Fine Woodworking Magazine. In issues #137 and #191, Whiteside bits were awarded Best Overall and Best Value for their exceptional quality and performance in independent tool reviews.
