Straight Router Bit for 1/4 in Cuts
The Westward 16Y578 is a carbide-tipped straight router bit with a 1/4 in cutter diameter. It suits woodworkers and fabricators who need clean, straight profiles in fractional-inch sizes. The lightweight bit weighs just 0.01 lb and fits standard 1/4 in collets. It is sold new and ready for workshop use.
Carbide Tip Extends Edge Life
The carbide tip resists wear longer than standard steel when cutting hardwoods, laminates or composites. This reduces the frequency of bit changes during long routing sessions. The straight profile produces consistent grooves, dadoes and mortises without requiring specialised jigs. No additional accessories or software are bundled with this bit.
