When to choose it

The UD5162M is a mortise-style compression cutter with a short upcut tip. Compare that geometry when selecting a cutter for a shallow cut where the near face matters.

Check the cut depth against the exact transition geometry in the maker’s data. The 1-5/8-inch cutting section describes tool size and does not establish an allowable depth per pass.
