Plunge Cut Hand Grip

Product Description

(please take note: B11 ball bearing and LC-1/2 are accessories, these parts are not included with the 1440 and need to be purchased separately).

Whiteside plunge cut hand grip router bits for luxury hand grip cut-outs.

Eliminating cumbersome knobs and handles on drawers can be massively space saving, especially on hidden drawer units inside cupboards and wardrobes. The handgrips make convenient lifting points on heavy storage boxes and the Whiteside 1440 is also used for stair tread nosings.

Whiteside 1440 is specifically designed for plunge and rout applications, however, undersized pre-drilled starter holes are always recommended. These pre-drilled holes will reduce the amount of boring required from the router bit. Vertical plunging is never recommended when routing so minimising this operation is going to improve the longevity of cutting edge. Use cheaper tools to do the bulk of the work where possible.

Install Whiteside B11 ball bearing and Whiteside LC-1/2 lock collar on the shank for pattern or template routing and trimming. We recommend the Whiteside LC-1/2H lock collar if possible as this is a heavy duty lock collar.

Suitable for CNC, hand-held and table mounted routers.

All Whiteside’s cutting tips are hand brazed, precision ground and machined in the USA from high grade industrial micro grain tungsten carbide.
