The Roundover Bit shapes the edge of a workpiece to the desired radius, providing a softer feel and appearance than that of an ordinary square edge. Typically the profile produced by a round over bit corresponds to a quarter of a round circle whose radius defines the size of the bit. By altering the depth of cut, a round over bit can also create a fillet at the top of the cut. A round over bit is typically guided by a ball bearing.

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, all manufactured in the USA by skilled craftsmen. 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 inEpisode 1of The Highland Woodworker. Watch the whole episode orjust the factory tour(about 6:30).
