Whiteside Rabbet Router Bit

Whiteside Rabbet Router Bit

Rabbet bits are used to cut a square recess into the edge of a board. The height of the cut is determined by the cutting length of the bit and the depth setting on the router. The depth of cut is determined by the size of the bearing on the bit. Standard rabbet bits come with one bearing, which can be changed to alter the depth of cut. We offer a full range of bearings for this purpose.

We also offer multi-bearing versions of the bits marked below with a ♦.

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).
