Bosch 2 608 628 340 router bit rounding-over bit 1 pc.

The Bosch 2 608 628 340 router bit is a rounding-over bit with a ball bearing pilot and two flutes, made of tungsten carbide. With an overall length of 53 mm, it is intended for precision woodworking tasks such as producing smooth, rounded edges and decorative profiles. The bit is compatible with standard routers and suited for use on solid woods and certain abrasive materials.

Advantages

This carbide rounding-over bit provides wear resistance and stable cutting performance thanks to its tungsten carbide construction and two-flute geometry. The ball bearing pilot ensures consistent profiling along workpiece edges while maintaining control and reducing the need for manual guidance. Its 53 mm length offers a balance between reach and stability for common edge-rounding operations.

Suitable for

• Rounding and profiling edges on solid woods (spruce, beech, oak, alder)
• Creating smooth decorative edges on furniture parts and moldings
• Working on abrasive wood-based materials where carbide tooling is required

How to use

Fit the router bit securely into the router collet according to the router manufacturer’s instructions and check that the ball bearing pilot rotates freely. Set the router speed appropriate to the wood species and the bit diameter, and make test cuts on scrap material to confirm depth and profile. Guide the router steadily along the workpiece edge, moving in the correct direction relative to the cutter rotation to avoid tear-out. Use multiple shallow passes rather than a single deep cut for a cleaner finish and reduced tool stress.

Recommendations

Use suitable personal protective equipment (eye and hearing protection, dust mask) and secure the workpiece firmly. Replace the bit if signs of chipping or excessive wear appear. For best results on hardwoods and abrasive materials, use steady feed rates and avoid overheating the cutter.
