1 in carbide tipped router bit
The Westward 16Y564 is a carbide tipped forming router bit with a 1 in cutter diameter. It produces a roundover cut profile and features a 1/2 in shank. The fractional inch design suits woodworkers shaping decorative edges on a router table or handheld router.
Practical limits of the fractional inch standard
The bit dimensions include 17/32 in and 2 19/32 in specifications that define the cutting geometry. These fixed measurements restrict the profile to a specific radius and depth. Woodworkers needing a different roundover size or a metric shank must select another bit.

Questions about this item
Which cutter diameter should I pick for a standard roundover profile?
The 1 in cutter diameter on this bit is the standard size for a typical roundover profile in fractional inch measurements.
What does the 17/32 in dimension tell me about the cut depth?
The 17/32 in measurement indicates the cutting length, so the bit can produce a roundover up to that depth in a single pass.
