Questions about this item

What comes with the 16Y596 router bit and do I need a separate collet?

The 16Y596 is a single carbide-tipped straight router bit with a 3/16 in cutter diameter and 1/4 in shank. A compatible 1/4 in collet is required on the router but is not included.

Should I choose the 16Y596 or a different diameter for a 1/2 in deep cut?

The 16Y596 has a 3/16 in cutter diameter and a 2 in overall length, allowing cuts up to 1/2 in deep in multiple passes. Select a larger diameter bit only if a wider groove is needed.
