Whiteside Giant Fan - Power Tool Parts & Accessories

Look, I love Whiteside cutters. These are absolutely the best consumer bits on the market and always my number one choice when it comes to bits. I have two other brands of router bits that I really like and would buy if the specific bit I'm looking for isn't readily available from Whiteside. Let's get into the details of this particular vinyl cutter. This is an indexable cutter. For those confused by the term reversible. Basically what this means is that a bit in both boards makes a notch to connect, but one board has to be flipped to the other side to match the other board. Basically, a carpenter's bit creates a profile on the edge of all the boards you want to join. The profile created gives you much more adhesive surface, creating a much stronger bond. This bit cuts a profile that looks like a tongue and groove, but it's more like a tongue and groove with a beveled edge if you can imagine it. No installation blocks or instructions are included with this drill. This bit is dedicated to know-how. It's simple in function and easy to use, but requires a little more setup and testing before cutting your workpiece. To get good results with this attachment it is almost necessary to have a router stroke that adjusts in 1/128" increments. If you do not have such a router lift. Proper use of this drill requires that you make it from scrap wood that is the same thickness as your work piece. Keep this in mind when using a drill. One piece needs to be turned over for gluing. should have the edges of the desired board on one side. You'll need to flip one of these boards on the router table to make the cut. This is a great cutter and works great when set up correctly. It's wrong to buy whiteside bits I cut and profile very hard exotic woods like brown ebony with whiteside bits and they always do the job perfectly.
