Whiteside 1025 1/2-inch straight bit

1/4 in

The short straight cutting head is wider than the plain shank.
The short straight cutting head is wider than the plain shank.

When to choose it

Choose the 1025 when a nominal half-inch straight groove needs a cutter with a quarter-inch shank. Its three-quarter-inch cutting length is shorter than that of the otherwise similar 1026.

Check the actual mating part before using a nominal half-inch groove for plywood. Compare the 1026 if you need more cutting length with the same collet and nominal groove width.
