Whiteside RU5200 Spiral Solid Carbide Two Flute Router Bit, 1/2-inch Shank

In 1970, the Whiteside Machine Company began manufacturing special parts and making repairs for the furniture industry in Hickory, NC. As the company's reputation grew, they expended their operations to include product offerings for businesses and hobbists, including high-quality router bits. Today, Whiteside router bits are the undisputed favorite among woodworkers. A spiral bit uses a shear cutting edge to create a smoother edge than standard router bits. The up cut spiral bit provides superior control in hand or table routing. This design draws chips up and away when creating dado's. Model RU5200: 1/2" shank, 1/2" cutting depth, 2" cutting length, 4" overall length, 2 flutes.
