When to choose it

The 1908 makes a narrow 5/32-inch cut along the bit axis and reaches a listed half inch into the edge. Those dimensions suit different decisions when fitting a spline or planning an edge slot.

Check the full 1-1/2-inch tool diameter for clearance. Compare the 1914 when you need a wider slot and can use a half-inch shank, or choose by the measured spline before settling on either cutter.
