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've ever used the Porter Cable 4212 Dovetail Jig, you will undoubtedly need one of these bits! Whiteside makes a carbide tip bit that will outlast the original that comes with the Jig. These bits are ultrasharp and hold their edge very well, even in the curly maple that I used to make my drawers. When you use the "odd" size dovetail bit that comes with the kit, you must use the "odd" size straight bit (13/32"). What I didn't realize, and they don't tell you in the basic instruction manual that comes with the 4212 jig, is that you can use other combinations of dovetail and straight bit, as long as the combined sum of the 7° dovetail and straight bit is 15/64". If you own one of these (4210, 4212 or 4216) jigs, then you should go to the company web site to download the advanced manual.([...])This manual is very informative and is a must have.Back to the straight bit, you can't go wrong with a Whiteside bit made for this jig.
