This is a Whiteside bowl & tray bit, model 1372, ground for hollowing smooth-bottomed bowls and trays. It measures 3/4″ cutting diameter, 1/4″ shank, 5/8″ cutting length, and uses carbide cutting edges that resist heat and hold an edge far longer than plain steel.
Chuck it into a router table or handheld router to carve serving trays, hollowed bowls, and recessed compartments. The balanced bit runs true at speed, so cuts come out concentric and clean with minimal sanding afterward.
Whiteside Machine Company manufactures its router bits in Claxton, Georgia, and is consistently rated among the top-performing router bit makers in independent woodworking tests.
