Carbide-Tipped Roundover Bit

The Westward 16Y568 is a carbide-tipped router bit designed for cutting roundover profiles. Its 1-1/2 inch cutter diameter and 1/4 inch shank fit standard routers for shaping decorative edges on wood. The carbide tips maintain sharpness longer than steel when profiling hardwoods or softwoods. This new bit weighs 0.2 units and suits both workshop and job-site use.

Ideal for edge profiling only

Woodworkers needing a dedicated roundover cutter for 3/4 inch radius work will find this bit matches the spec. It does not serve joinery tasks such as dovetails, straight cuts or panel raising. Buyers who need multiple profiles or a different radius should look at other bits. Those without a compatible 1/4 inch collet cannot use this shank.

Highlights

  • Carbide tipped edge resists wear longer
  • 1-1/2 inch cutter diameter shapes wide profiles

Questions about this item

What size router collet is needed for the 1/4 in shank on the Westward 16Y568 bit?

The Westward 16Y568 has a 1/4 in shank, so it requires a router with a 1/4 in collet or a compatible reducer sleeve fitted.

Will the 1-1/2 in cutting diameter on this carbide bit work with my older 1/4 in shank router?

Yes, the 1-1/2 in cutter diameter fits a 1/4 in shank router, though you should verify the motor has enough power for the larger profile cut.
