The Drawer Lock bit is a quick, easy way to make a strong joint between a drawer side and drawer front. One bit makes both cuts and you don't even have to make a depth adjustment between cuts (you will have to move the fence). The drawer front is cut flat on the router table. The drawer side is cut vertically against the router table fence.

Whiteside offers two sizes of Drawer Lock bits for different stock thicknesses. Most drawers will use the smaller size.

About Whiteside

Whiteside Machine Company was founded in 1970 in Bill Whiteside's basement where he supplied tooling to NC's huge furniture making industry. Whiteside is still family-owned but has now grown to occupy a 40,000 square foot factory in Claremont, NC.

Whiteside offers a full range of router bits. Their rigid quality control and precision manufacturing techniques have repeatedly resulted in highest ratings in Fine Woodworking magazine tool reviews.

In the years that we've sold Whiteside router bits, we've experienced the company's commitment to excellent quality and superb customer service. We think you'll be pleased each time you use these fine tools in your shop.

We toured the Whiteside factory in Episode 1 of The Highland Woodworker . Watch the whole episode or just the factory tour (about 6:30).
