Router Bits – Professional Tools for Precision Milling

Basic router bit types by application

Router bits are divided into wood and metal types, with different cutting edge designs. Wood bits use HM (hard metal) carbide tips that withstand high RPMs, while metal bits feature HSS edges resistant to heat buildup. Sets like the BOSCH Komplet raznih glodala/ 15 komada/ držač od 8 mm 2607017472 offer versatile applications without the need for separate purchases.

Shank diameter and tool compatibility

Standard shank diameters are 6 mm, 8 mm and 12 mm, which must match your router's collet size. For smaller routers with 6 mm or 8 mm collets, you can use reducer sleeves like the DeWALT Čaura 10 mm DE6276 to accommodate larger shank bits. Always check the maximum RPM rating – larger diameter bits require slower speeds.

Cutting edge materials and durability

HM (hard metal) or VHM (tungsten carbide) bits are the standard for wood as they stay sharp much longer than traditional steel. For MDF and veneer, double-flute bits are ideal as they reduce tear-out. Brands like BOSCH, DEWALT and FREUD offer bits with titanium coating that further extends service life and reduces friction.

How to choose the right bit for specific tasks

For creating grooves and channels, use straight or spiral bits with flat bottoms. Profile bits create decorative edges on furniture – the most popular are round-over, chamfer and ogee types. For door and window joinery, tongue-and-groove bits are essential for creating tight joints without wobble.

Flush trim and pattern bits for production runs

Bearing-guided bits allow precise copying of profiles and templates with high accuracy. The bearing diameter determines how deep the bit cuts – a larger bearing means a shallower cut. These bits are indispensable for producing identical furniture pieces or details in series.

Safety and router bit maintenance

Never use dull bits – they create excess friction, overheat and can cause material splitting. After use, clean them of resin and dust with a brush and solvent, and store them in protective cases. When mounting in the router, always tighten the collet with a wrench while the tool is unplugged.
