Which router bit type is specified with a 1/4 inch shank?

• A. 3/8 inch Shank Router Bits
• B. 1/4 inch Shank Router Bits
• C. Mortising Bits
• D. Profile Router Bits

Answer: (B)

Shank size determines what fits in a router’s collet. The shank is the part that locks into the router, and common sizes are 1/4" and 3/8" (as well as others). When the question asks which router bit type is specified with a 1/4 inch shank, you look for the category defined by having a 1/4 inch shank. That is the 1/4 inch Shank Router Bits category. The other options refer to different shank sizes or to the cutting profile itself (not the shank size). So the 1/4 inch Shank Router Bits is the correct choice.
