When to choose it

Use the 1880 for an edge recess when the listed 1/4-inch radial depth matches the overlap you need. The B2 bearing follows the original edge and the half-inch cutting length describes the other axis.

Check the back panel or insert thickness and the desired overlap separately. The depth into the edge and the height available along the bit serve different purposes in the joint.
