Hinge mortise router bit
This carbide-tipped router bit cuts clean hinge mortises in wood and wood-based materials. The 1/2 in cutter diameter suits standard fractional-inch routing tasks. Designed for use with compatible routers in professional or workshop settings.
Not for non-mortise profiles
Builders needing edge-forming, joinery or decorative profiles should select a different bit style. The fixed 1/2 in diameter does not suit variable-width mortising or plunge-cutting operations requiring adjustable cutters.

Questions about this item
How much heat does the 16Y563 router bit generate during extended use?
The carbide-tipped cutter dissipates heat efficiently during continuous routing, and the lightweight 0.05 kg body minimises thermal mass so the bit stays cooler in long sessions.
What shank size must my router have to accept the 16Y563 bit?
Your router needs a 1/4 in collet to fit the 1/4 in shank on this 16Y563 mortising bit.
