Whiteside Spiral Compression Door-Lite Bit 1/2 in. SH x 1/2 in. D x 2-1/2 in. CL

Whiteside Spiral Compression Door-Lite Bit 1/2 in. SH x 1/2 in. D x 2-1/2 in. CL is a high-performance router bit designed to deliver superior results on door-lite applications. Unlike traditional down-cut spiral door bits that tend to blow out material on the bottom side of the door as they dull, this CNC Compression Door-Lite bit from Whiteside pulls material upward, maintaining clean cuts even after extended use. Crafted from American tool steel and precision ground on advanced CNC machinery, it offers exceptional durability and precision. Testing on steel-clad exterior doors has demonstrated that while conventional door-lite bits average around 12,000 lineal inches of cutting per bit, the Whiteside bit achieves an impressive average of 22,000 inches, providing both cleaner cuts and longer tool life. This bit features a single flute design with a 1/2" round shank, making it ideal for CNC routers. Manufactured by Whiteside Machine Company in Claremont, North Carolina, it combines quality craftsmanship with innovative design to meet the demands of professional woodworking. Model Number: HC5250
