Category: Plywood Dado Router Bits

This Whiteside SC218 router bit is designed for cutting clean dadoes in plywood. It features an undersized 7/32-inch cutting diameter, which is slightly smaller than the nominal 1/4-inch size to account for typical plywood thickness variations, helping ensure a precise fit. The bit includes a 1/2-inch shank for stable performance in a router table or handheld router, and it is coated with AstraHP for enhanced durability and smoother cutting action.

  • Undersized 7/32-inch cutting diameter for accurate plywood dadoes
  • 1/2-inch shank for reduced vibration and improved control
  • AstraHP coating helps resist heat and wear for longer life
  • From Whiteside, a trusted name in router bits

Leo ★★★★★

Cutting dados in Baltic birch used to mean tear-out and chipping for me, but this bit leaves edges so clean I barely need sanding. The 7/32-inch undersize is perfect for fitting plywood snugly without forcing it together, and the coating seems to be keeping it sharp through a couple of full sheet bu

Abigail ★★★★★

The AstraHP coating on this bit made cutting through maple plywood noticeably smoother than my old uncoated bits. I appreciate the precise 7/32" diameter for a perfect dado fit without sanding.

Nicholas ★★★★★

Finally, a router bit that actually cuts a true 1/4″ dado in plywood—the slightly smaller 7/32″ diameter made all the difference for a snug, clean fit. It powered through a full sheet without any burning or chatter.
