Whiteside Downshear Flush Trim Router Bits
Whiteside Downshear Flush Trim Router Bits are designed to produce clean, accurate edges with reduced splintering on the top surface of the workpiece. The angled carbide cutting edges direct cutting pressure downward, helping hold wood fibers in place for a smoother finish when trimming laminates, veneers, plywood, MDF, and solid wood.
A precision guide bearing follows the edge of a template or adjoining surface, making these bits ideal for cabinetmaking, furniture building, pattern routing, and other detailed woodworking applications. The downshear cutting action is especially useful when working with veneered panels or materials that are prone to chipping along the top edge.
Whiteside Router Bits are manufactured in the USA and are known for their sharp carbide cutting edges, precise construction, and dependable performance in professional and home woodworking shops.
