This unique 3-cutter design will shape hundreds of lineal feet of 1/4" thick strips with smooth precision while the shank mounted bearings make set-up a breeze. Use this construction method to build boats, planters or any curved wood project. This bit can also be used to form a full bull-nose edge on tables and furniture. Building a strip canoe involves gluing a number of long flexible cedar or similar wood strips together over plywood forms. The cove and bead joint that allows the strips to glue together across the curve of the form is easy to mill using these special router bits. Whiteside Machine Company has been making top quality router bits since 1970. Using the latest technology, up-to-date machinery, and expert craftsmen, they make a bit that features thick, high grade carbide, accurately ground to produce the smoothest finish cuts on your work. Each bit is inspected after every manufacturing step to ensure satisfaction and consistent quality.
