Whiteside Machine was originally a machine shop, many decades ago. They were machining precision router bodies for a customer. The customer went broke leaving them sitting on the router bodies so they decide to finish them and sell them. This is a realstory of courage, resourcefulness, guts and just plain stubbornness.

Decades later they are still stubborn about absolutely top quality and beautiful tools.

Braze tools ( CT carbide tipped or TCT Tungsten Carbide Tipped ) Have a piece of expensive tungsten carbide brazed to a steel shaft. This gives you the incredible long wear of carbide (up to 100 times that of steel) and the toughness of a steel saw plate, router shaft, etc. It makes a clearly superior tool at a greatly reduced cost.
