Main Product Description
Microtech FPD2516016 is the exact POWERCUT 7R / FPD2516 coated solid-carbide compression-router configuration with a 3/8 in. (9.52 mm) cutting diameter, 1-1/8 in. (28 mm) useful length, 0.2 in. (5 mm) positive section, 3/8 in. (9.52 mm) shank and 3 in. (76.20 mm) total length.
The right-hand tool uses HW / WIDIA solid-carbide construction with Z2+2 positive/negative compression geometry, a 1-5/8 in. (41 mm) shank length and the current Black Carbon coating designation.
Microtech publishes the family for high-speed nesting plus routing, cutting and panel shaping in solid wood, chipboard, MDF and plywood. The 2025 catalogue identifies the family as POWERCUT 7R; older Microtech catalogues used the POWERCUT 7W label for FPD2516.

Product Highlights
01
Exact Variant Identity
The exact SKU FPD2516016 is kept separate from neighbouring POWERCUT 7R / FPD2516 variants, including hand, dimensions and geometry.
02
Verified Cutting Technology
The active cutting technology is HW / WIDIA Solid Carbide; the long-description image is routed accordingly without inferring material from the SKU prefix.
03
Application-Matched Geometry
The published configuration is presented for High-speed nesting, routing, cutting and panel shaping without borrowing feed, speed or compatibility values from adjacent products.
Before Machining
Compatibility & Installation Notes
Verify the exact SKU FPD2516016, 3/8 in. (9.52 mm), DX / RH, machine and holder or boring-head compatibility, clamping/projection, programmed depth, and workpiece material before use. Do not derive feed rate, spindle speed, chip load or toolpath settings from the SKU. Follow the machine, holder and current Microtech documentation.
Production Outcome
POWERCUT 7R / FPD2516
SKU FPD2516016 identifies the Black Carbon Coated Solid-Carbide Compression Router Bit configuration shown above, with its verified dimensions, cutting technology, geometry and hand preserved as independent product attributes.
Selection should be based on the exact Microtech configuration and machine interface rather than a neighbouring family row, visual similarity or SKU-pattern inference.
