When to choose it

The 2501 suits shallow flush trimming when a tip-mounted guide can follow the reference edge. It has three flutes and a half-inch cutting section on a quarter-inch shank.

Check the material height and template position before choosing. The 3004 uses a shank-side bearing and a longer cutting section, giving a different template arrangement despite the same nominal diameter.
