Easy setup, clean results.

The first project I used the kit for was 8 poplar wood cabinet doors. The set was easy to use and made beautiful racks and splints. Just make sure you use a sacrificial pad to avoid tearing at the end of the cuts.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • No instructions

Worth the investment

Like all my other Whiteside bits, these work great. I'm almost done with 31 shaker doors but the cuts are still sharp. The 1/2" shaft is very strong - no vibration. You will need a good router table with a precision jack to get the quality of these bits.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Not sure

Great bits: power tool parts and accessories

I bought this bit set to build kitchen cabinets for our son. You are wonderful! 7 pairs of doors made, all like new. I have other Whiteside beats and they all work great. Whiteside is my number one choice for bits and accessories. Made in America!

Pros
  • Superb design
Cons
  • Hard to say

Chipped carbide tooth

Well I love white wire cutters but this one was a little disappointing. I tested this on a piece of jaw, just sanded about 4 inches and made a few passes to get to the bearing and by the time I was done I already had a small chip on the carbide tooth.

Pros
  • good stuff
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

Worth every penny! for power tools and hand tools

This is a genuine offer. I've made paneled doors a few times with table saw blades and can say that compared to this setup with a good router and table it just can't be beat. This provides a cleaner and more even cut that is far superior to using a table saw to achieve the same result. Setting up the shaker is very easy. Several pieces of scrap wood are required. First cut off the tongue by "estimating" the height of the blade on the table. Skip the wood paneling and adjust accordingly. I used…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • New competitors have appeared

White side cutters are simply the best

I mean I really don't need to say much as the quality of the white cutters speaks for itself. If you have read previous Whiteside product reviews you know I am very fond of Whiteside cutters. I also like Freud cutters and Infinity Cutting Tools, but Whiteside cutters are by far the best. They are simply superior in quality to the cutters of many other well-known brands. The handling of these bits is perfect. They hold an edge and stay sharp for a very long time. I usually buy cutting knives as…

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Legacy model
