Whiteside 1072 long 1/2-inch straight bit
1/2 in
When to choose it
Use the 1072 as a candidate when a nominal half-inch straight cut calls for a longer cutting section. It has two inches of cutter length and a half-inch shank.
The overall length is 4-1/8 inches, so check the machine and bit instructions for usable extension and the correct cut sequence. The shorter 1066 makes the same nominal width with less cutting length.

It describes the cutting section. The operating limits come from the router and cutter instructions.

When is 1066 an alternative?
Choose it when the same width suits the project and a one-inch cutting section is sufficient.
