Carbide-tipped flush-trim bit

The Westward 16Y538 is a carbide-tipped flush-trim router bit with a 3/8 in cutter diameter. It uses a 1/4 in shank and has an overall length of 2 19/32 in. The carbide tip provides durability for trimming laminates and pattern work.

Precision template and laminate trimming

This bit suits woodworkers needing a small-diameter cutter for tight corners or detailed template following. It is not for heavy stock removal or cutting thick hardwood in a single pass. Builders needing a larger cutting diameter or a 1/2 in shank should look at other options.

Questions about this item

What shank diameter fits the 16Y538 router bit?

The bit uses a 1/4 in shank, so it fits any collet or router that accepts 1/4 in shanks.

How do you set the 16Y538 bit height, and what step is often missed?

Insert the bit fully, then pull it back slightly before tightening the collet; the missed step is leaving it bottomed out, which prevents the bearing from spinning freely.
