When to choose it

The 1062 gives a nominal 3/8-inch straight cut with a half-inch shank. It is a candidate for a guided groove where the mating part measures closer to three-eighths than to half an inch.

Compare the 1066 for the larger cut diameter without changing the collet size or listed cutting length. Test the fit using the actual insert or panel stock.
