When to choose it

The 3004 uses a shank-side guide for a template that sits on that end of the work. A half-inch cutter leaves a nominal quarter-inch inside radius, separate from the one-inch cutting section.

Choose a different bearing position if the reference sits on the far side of the cutter. The 2501 is an example with a tip guide and a shorter cutting section.
