When to choose it

Choose the 42-116 for tall flush trimming when the template can contact the bearing at the cutter tip. The two-inch cutting height covers a taller section than many laminate trim bits.

Measure the reference and material together and check the manufacturer’s limits for a cutter of this length. A shorter bit may suit thin stock with less projection from the collet.
