Whiteside Pilot Point Plunge Panel Router Bits

Panel pilot router bits are specialized cutting tools used in woodworking to create clean, precise cuts in panel materials such as plywood, particleboard, or MDF (medium-density fiberboard). These bits are designed specifically for cutting openings, slots, or recesses in panels.

Panel pilot router bits typically have a straight cutting edge with a pilot bearing at the tip. The pilot bearing acts as a guide, allowing the bit to follow a template or the edge of the material accurately. The cutting edge of the bit is usually carbide-tipped for durability and sharpness.

These bits are commonly used for tasks such as cutting openings for electrical outlets, creating grooves for joinery, or making recesses for inlays or hardware. They are particularly useful when working with panel materials that may be prone to chipping or splintering.
