Whiteside Router Bits Screw Type Mortise Bit - Professional Woodworking Tool

About This Product

Hey woodworkers! If you're serious about your craft, you've probably heard of Whiteside - they've been making quality router bits for over 30 years and several woodworking magazines have actually named them the best in the business. This particular bit is a game-changer for mortise work. It's a carbide-tipped, screw type helix mortise bit with a 1/2-inch cutting diameter and 5/8-inch cutting length. The 1/4-28 threads make it super easy to screw onto a helix mortise arbor, which really streamlines your workflow when you're switching between different heads. What's really cool is how it's designed specifically for cutting clean, square-bottom mortises - you know, for hinges, locksets, and other joinery work where you need that precise rectangular recess. The short downshear flute gives you a clean finish on the top edge within the mortise, which means professional results every time. The carbide-tipped construction gives you that perfect balance of quality and affordability, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. At 7/8-inch overall length, it's substantial enough to handle serious work but still manageable. Whether you're a professional furniture maker or a dedicated hobbyist, this bit delivers the precision and durability that Whiteside is famous for. It's one of those tools that just makes you appreciate quality manufacturing - you can feel the difference in the cut quality and how long it stays sharp. If you want your mortise work to look absolutely professional, this bit is definitely worth checking out!
