Router Bits
Whiteside
In an independent study performed by the editors of Fine Woodworking Magazine, the best bits were put to the test. In this side-by-side test, Whiteside router bits proved the best performer of the most widely used brand names. Included in the router bits test were such names as CMT, Freud, Oldham Viper, Porter-Cable, and Bosch. In the test, all the router bits were run under the same conditions, through the same material, at the same feed-rate and RPM. Whiteside router bits out-performed all other router bits. In addition to out-performing all other router bits, Whiteside router bits are more affordable than the other router bits tested.
Small Grooving Bits are commonly used for decorative designs in cabinet doors or for detail veining in furniture. Round Nose Bits and V-Groove Bits are often used in the same manner. The Larger Grooving Bits are great for a raised panel effect in doors and for adding a bold accent to furniture or large workpieces. These bits also make nice edge profiles with the aid of a router table and fence. These bits are ideal for adding bearings to the shank for following templates. Select a bearing from with the same inside diameter as your shank size. Outside diameter should be the same size or larger than the large diameter of your router bit. Secure bearings with a lock collar. Use Lock Collar #LC-1/4 for 1/4" shanks or LC-1/2 for 1/2" shanks. This is the only bit you need to make a complete window sash. The bearing guide controls the pattern depth and also allows you to make arched or curved windows and glass doors. This assembly with the straight end cutter cuts the inside edges on both the stiles and rails. Convert the assembly to make the mating end cut by exchanging the straight cutter for the spacer (The spacer can be installed between the profile cutter and the shank if additional reach across the workpiece is needed.) Now make the mating end cuts on the rails. This bit can also be used to cut both the decorative edges and the mating end cuts required to make your own window mullions (crosspieces).
