When to choose it

The RU4900 pairs a three-eighths-inch cutting diameter with a half-inch shank. Choose it when a guided groove calls for that nominal width and chips should clear toward the router.

Compare it with a downcut when the nearest face is the more important one. Check the actual router collet before choosing another three-eighths-inch cutter, since the shank sizes vary.
