Whiteside Router Bits 470 Undersize Plywood Dado Set – 7/32", 15/32", 23/32" (1/2" Shank)

Precision for plywood dados

Whiteside has built a reputation for reliable router tooling for over 30 years. The Whiteside 470 Undersize Plywood Dado Set combines a solid carbide straight bit with two carbide-tipped partners, crafted to deliver clean, repeatable dados across common plywood thicknesses. The steel body provides rigidity and helps minimize tool vibration, supporting smoother cuts and consistent results through busy shop sessions.

Key specs and compatibility

• Three bits designed to work with 1/2 inch collets: a 7/32-inch solid carbide cutter, a 31/64-inch carbide-tipped cutter, and a 23/32-inch carbide-tipped cutter.
• Matched to nominal plywood thicknesses (1/4 inch, 1/2 inch, 3/4 inch) for reliable dado joints.
• Rigid steel shank and carbide cutting edges offer durability and long edge life.

Practical use and outcomes

In real projects, you may create shelf dados, cabinet joints, or other joinery that relies on precise pocket sizes. The 7/32-inch bit helps with slimmer panels, while the larger diameters support deeper cuts. Expect clean edges with minimal tear-out when feeds are steady and blades stay sharp.

Whiteside’s legacy in toolmaking means ongoing product development, strict quality control, and a focus on solving customer challenges. This set embodies that approach, delivering a ready-to-use solution for plywood dado work that fits into a typical woodworking workflow.

Crafted for durability and consistent results

The carbide cutting edges and the solid steel shank work together to reduce vibration and maintain a steady cut, which can help you achieve more consistent dados across multiple parts. This design is aimed at reliable performance in busy shops where repeatability matters, without promising outcomes you can’t control in a live environment.
