Bosch Router Bits Review - Should They Be in Your Workshop?

According to Bosch, their router bits are crafted with materials that have been selected with the greatest of care, and the precise steps taken to ensure the accurate geometry of each cut is distinguished among other brands.

Router Plunge

Bosch ensures long life for its bits, and the cutting edges are ground by grinding wheels of diamond to ensure the edges stay sharp and effective.

Standard wood products were kept in mind when designing Bosch bits so that Bosch's tools can be matched to the materials that their customers use in their woodworking professions. The longer shanks are designed to stay in the collet without fear of breaking loose, and this security provides the end user with the ability to use the bit in its entirety without fear.

Bosch also separates itself from other brands through the promotion of its very own micrograin carbide for which it alone holds the patent. Only with Bosch router bits can users take advantage of this technology which Bosch claims maintains a sharp cutting edge for a longer period of time than the offerings of other brands. This adds to the life of the bits, providing a greater return on investment for the user who chooses Bosch over other brands as productivity is increased and bits are changed out less frequently.

The company claims to produce over 500 items including bits for edge forming, solid surface, surface forming, spirals, straight & mortising, slotting cutters, cabinet making & raised panel, plastic cutting, joint making, fiberglass cutting, trimming & cutout, and components just to rattle off the various categories.

Router bits, of course, are essential to the success of any serious woodcutting application, and all those who work with wood demand and need the best ones available for the job. For its customers, Bosch provides the convenience of router bit sets, so users can take advantage of particular categories of bits used often during similar projects.

With such offerings as the Bosch RBS021XW 3 Piece 1/4-Inch Shank Template Cutting Bit Set, the BOSCH T2452 6-Piece Bit Set, and the Bosch RBS022XW 3 Piece 1/2-Inch Shank Straight Bit Set, it is clear that Bosch's bit offerings are numerous and all-encompassing for woodworking.
