Here’s a Square Deal! A quality Whiteside bit with the exclusive Euro Square Bearing. Replace the standard 1/2″ bearing found on most of our Edge Form bits with the B3SQ square bearing if residue build-up on the bearing or marring of the workpiece is a problem. Recommended for solid surface applications. B3SQ is a 1/2″ square or upgrade to the 3/4″ B8SQ square. Both parts have a standard 3/16″ inside diameter.
How does it work? The square bearing stops spinning as soon as it touches the workpiece. Then, the side of the square simply slides along the workpiece edge. Compare this to a regular bearing that rolls along the edge- building up glue and residue with every revolution. Plus, the square is made from a non-stick material, so it wipes clean easily, and it won’t mark your workpiece.
- TOOL SPECS: Euro-square Ball bearing with 1/2″ outside diameter and 3/16″ inside diameter.
- SQUARE BEARING: Square bearing stops spinning as soon as it touches the workpiece. The straight side then simply slides along the workpiece edge.
- NON-STICK: The bearing is made from a non-stick material, preventing buildup of glue and residue as seen with traditional round bearings.
- NON-MAR: Because the square bearing glides along the edge instead of rolling, the risk of marring the side of the material is eliminated compared to traditional round bearings.
- SIZE: 1/2″ outside diameter x 3/16″ inside diameter.

Need This Tool Customized?
Every machining application is different. If this tool is close to what you need but not an exact fit, General Cutting Tools can help modify it for your specific job, machine, material, or production requirement.
We work with CNC shops, industrial manufacturers, tool rooms, and production facilities to provide tool modifications that improve fit, function, performance, and efficiency. Whether you need a small adjustment or a more specialized cutting tool solution, our team can review your requirements and recommend the best option.
Custom tool modifications can help reduce setup time, improve accuracy, extend tool life, solve clearance issues, and support more consistent production results.
Common Tool Customization Options
Diameter and OD Modifications
We can modify tool diameters to better match your application requirements, including cutting diameter changes, OD modifications, pilot diameter adjustments, step diameters, and shank diameter modifications.
Bore Modifications for Saw Blades
Custom saw blade bore modifications are available for hole diameter changes, pinholes, mounting holes, and keyway cutouts to help match your machine setup and cutting requirements.
Length Adjustments
Tools can be modified for specific reach, clearance, or setup needs. This may include overall length changes, flute length adjustments, reduced neck sections, extended reach designs, or shortened tools for improved rigidity.
Shank Modifications
Shank modifications can help ensure the tool fits properly in your holder, spindle, or machine setup. Common options include shank diameter changes, flats, Weldon flats, reduced shanks, and custom holding requirements.
Radius, Chamfer, and Corner Changes
We can customize corner radius, chamfer angles, edge breaks, and other profile details to meet part print requirements or improve cutting performance.
Step Tool Modifications
For applications that require multiple diameters or operations in a single tool, we can create or modify step tools to help reduce tool changes and improve production efficiency.
Flute and Cutting Edge Adjustments
Depending on the tool and application, flute length, cutting edge geometry, end cutting features, relief angles, and cutting edge shape may be modified to improve chip evacuation, cutting action, and tool performance.
Regrinding and Resharpening
Many cutting tools can be reground or resharpened to restore performance, extend tool life, and reduce replacement costs.
Custom Profiles and Special Forms
For unique part features, we can help provide special forms, custom profiles, custom radii, counterbores, countersinks, keyseat cutters, form tools, and other application-specific tooling solutions.
Material-Specific Tool Adjustments
We can help modify or recommend tooling based on the material being machined, including aluminum, brass, bronze, plastics, stainless steel, hardened steel, cast iron, composites, and other industrial materials.
Have a Drawing, Sample, or Part Print?
Send us your print, sketch, CAD file, photo, tool number, sample, or application details. For the fastest quote, include the material being cut, quantity needed, required dimensions, tolerances, and any machine or holder requirements.
Coating Options
Tool coatings can be selected or added to improve wear resistance, heat resistance, lubricity, and performance in specific materials such as steel, stainless steel, aluminum, cast iron, and high-temperature alloys.
