Flush Trim Router Bit 1/4 in
The Westward 16Y561 is a solid carbide flush trim router bit built for trimming laminate, veneer and edge banding flush to a substrate. Its 1/4 in cutter diameter suits detail work and tight corners in cabinetry, sign making and general woodworking. The fractional inch shank fits standard collets on both handheld and table mounted routers.
Solid carbide construction and cutting capacity
Solid carbide provides long edge life in abrasive materials such as particle board and plastic laminate. The bit trims flush along a bearing guided template or pattern up to the cutter length. It is not suited for heavy hogging, deep mortising or very thick stock where a larger diameter or longer flute would be required.

Questions about this item
Will the 16Y561 solid-carbide bit fit the 1/4 in collet on my older router?
Yes, the shank and cutter diameter are both 1/4 in, matching standard 1/4 in collets found on many older routers.
How can I confirm the 16Y561 is cutting cleanly after installation?
Run a test pass on scrap material; a properly working bit leaves a smooth, flush edge without burn marks or chatter.
