Mortising Router Bit 1-1/4 Inch

The Westward 16Y562 is a carbide-tipped router bit designed for cutting hinge mortises. It features a 1-1/4 inch cutter diameter and a 1/2 inch shank for use with compatible routers. The carbide tips provide durability for repeated use in woodworking applications. This new tool weighs 0.15 units and is ready for workshop tasks.

Woodworkers Cutting Hinge Mortises

This bit suits woodworkers and joiners who need a dedicated profile for hinge recesses in doors or frames. The fractional inch sizing matches standard hardware requirements for clean, accurate cuts. Buyers needing different profile shapes or shank diameters for other joinery tasks should look at other router bit types. Those working exclusively with metric tooling will find the inch-based dimensions incompatible.

Questions about this item

What router collet size does the 1/2 in shank of the 16Y562 require?

The 1/2 in shank fits a standard 1/2 in router collet; tighten the collet nut fully before use to prevent the bit from slipping during the cut.

Which step do users often miss when installing the carbide-tipped mortising bit?

After seating the shank, raise the bit slightly so the carbide tips clear the workpiece before starting the router, then plunge to the 1/4 in depth stop.
