What size shank does this bit have?

Can I use this bit for making grooves?

Troubleshooting
Bit chatters or vibrates during use.
Ensure the bit is securely tightened in the router collet. Check if the router speed is appropriate for the material. Verify the bearing is spinning freely and is not obstructed.
Uneven or rough cut edges.
Confirm the template is securely attached and has no burrs. Check the sharpness of the bit's cutting edges. Ensure a consistent feed rate when moving the router.
Bearing does not spin freely.
Clean the bearing thoroughly to remove dust and debris. Lubricate with a light machine oil if necessary, ensuring excess oil is removed before use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: Ensure the Bosch PRO Router Bit is securely clamped in your router's collet. Verify that the collet size matches the bit's shank diameter (1/4 inch). Insert the bit to the appropriate depth for stability, but avoid inserting it so deep that the bearing is too close to the workpiece surface initially. Always perform a test cut on scrap material.
Compatibility: This bit is compatible with any standard router that accepts a 1/4 inch shank. It is designed for use with templates, so ensure your project includes a template for flush trimming.
Care: After each use, clean the bit to remove any wood residue. A soft brush or a clean, dry cloth is usually sufficient. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the cutting edges or the bearing. Store the bit in a protective case or holder to prevent damage to the cutting edges and bearing.
