Whiteside RD1600 1/8-inch downcut spiral
1/4 in
When to choose it
The RD1600 makes a narrow nominal 1/8-inch cut with a downcut flute. It suits a comparison where the face nearest the router needs careful edge treatment, such as a thin visible veneer.
Compare the RU1600 when chip extraction toward the router matters more. The two use the same nominal shank and cut width, while the opposite flute directions change how chips leave the cut.
