Solid carbide router bit for precision cuts
The Westward 16Y543 is a straight cut profile router bit made from solid carbide. It suits woodworkers and fabricators who need a durable 1/8 inch cutter for clean grooves and dadoes. The fractional inch shank fits standard collets in handheld or table mounted routers.
1/8 inch diameter limits material removal rate
The small 1/8 inch cutter diameter restricts the volume of material removed in a single pass. Deep cuts require multiple shallow passes to avoid deflection or breakage. The 1 19/32 inch overall length limits reach into deep cavities. Users needing wider grooves or deeper single pass cuts should choose a larger diameter bit.

Questions about this item
Which cutter diameter should I choose for fine detail work?
The 1/8 in cutter diameter is the only size offered for this solid carbide straight router bit.
What does the 1 19/32 in length mean when the bit is mounted in a router?
That dimension is the overall length from shank end to cutter tip, so the bit extends that far from the collet when fully seated.
