Whiteside Router Bit Bearing Lock Collar

When you add a bearing to the shank of a router bit, you hold it in place with a bearing lock collar. The collar fits over the shank on top of the bearing and locks in place with a set screw.

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).
