Questions about this item
Does the Westward 16Y545 router bit include a collet or wrench, or must those be purchased separately?
The bit is sold individually. A compatible 1/2 in collet and router wrench are required for installation and are not included in the package.
When should I choose the 3/8 in carbide-tipped straight bit over other diameters?
Select this 3/8 in cutter diameter for precise grooving, dadoes, or mortising where a narrower cut is needed. The carbide tips provide longer edge life in hardwoods and abrasive materials.
