Whiteside Rabbeting Router Bits

Rabbeting router bits are specialized cutting tools used in woodworking to create rabbets, which are recessed or stepped cuts along the edge or end of a workpiece. Rabbets are commonly used for joining two pieces of wood, creating panels, or installing glass or other inserts.

Rabbeting router bits typically have a cylindrical body with a cutting edge on the bottom or side and a bearing or guide on the top. The cutting edge is usually carbide-tipped for durability and sharpness. The bearing or guide determines the width and depth of the rabbet cut, allowing for precise and consistent results.
