Questions about this item

How deep can the 1 in carbide-tipped cutter go before the shank limits the cut?

The cutter length is 1 1/4 in, so the carbide section stops at that depth before the 1/2 in shank contacts the workpiece.

Does the carbide tip stay cool during a full day of routing hardwood?

Carbide dissipates heat well, but the 0.3 lb bit has limited mass, so extended heavy cuts will warm the tool and may require pauses.
