Flush-trim router bit for template work
The Westward 16Y611 is a carbide-tipped flush-trim bit with a 1/2 inch cutter diameter. It follows a bearing-guided template to trim edges flush on laminates, veneers and solid wood. The fractional-inch shank fits standard 1/2 inch collets on both fixed-base and plunge routers. Woodworkers and cabinet makers use it for pattern routing and final edge cleanup.
Carbide tips give long edge life
The carbide cutting edges resist wear when trimming abrasive materials such as plastic laminate or particle board. Cutting length of 1 1/2 inches handles typical panel thicknesses while the overall length of 3 23/32 inches provides reach for deeper profiles. The bit is not suited for heavy stock removal or for cutting metals and other non-wood materials.

Questions about this item
Will the 1/2 in shank on the Westward 16Y611 fit the collet on my older router?
Yes, the 1/2 in shank matches standard 1/2 in collets found on many routers, so it will fit older models that accept that shank size.
How can I confirm the carbide-tipped cutter is cutting cleanly after installation?
Run a test pass on scrap material; a clean, flush edge without tear-out or burn marks shows the bit is working as intended.
