Router Bit Selection
Depending on processing and application,
router bits are available in the most different de-
signs and qualities:
Router bits made of high speed steel (HSS)
are suitable for the machining of soft materials,
e. g., softwood and plastic.
Carbide tipped router bits (HM) are especially
suitable for hard and abrasive materials, e. g.,
hard wood.
Original router bits from the extensive Bosch ac-
cessories program are available at your special-
ist shop.
