Whiteside Dovetail Router Bit

The dovetail is one of woodworking’s classic joints. When cutting a dovetail with a router, you need top quality bits. Whiteside offers a wide range of top-quality dovetail bits to fit your needs, whether you’re using a custom or store bought jig. See the chart below for cross-reference to bits for some common jigs.

Some bits below have 8mm shanks. If your router will not accept an 8mm shank, we offer 8mm collets for select routers and a 1/2″-8mm adapter for all routers.

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).
