Router Bit Set ALPEN 776000003100, carbide, shank Ø 6 mm, multiple cutting profiles

ALPEN router bit set 776000003100 includes multiple carbide-tipped bits with a 6 mm shank designed for handheld routers and router tables. The set is intended for cutting, profiling and trimming wood and wood-based materials; carbide cutting edges provide durability and maintain sharpness over extended use. Standard 6 mm shank diameter ensures compatibility with collets and chucks that accept metric shanks, making the set suitable for common routing tasks in workshops and on-site woodworking.

Advantages

Carbide tips on each bit offer long-lasting cutting performance and resistance to wear compared with high-speed steel. The uniform 6 mm shank allows quick bit changes and secure clamping in compatible router collets. Multiple cutting profiles included in the set reduce the need to buy individual bits for common routing operations, saving time when preparing edges, grooves and shapes. The bits are suitable for repeated use in production or DIY applications where consistent edge quality is required.

Suitable for

• Edge profiling and decorative moulding on solid wood and veneered boards
• Trimming laminate and plywood edges
• Cutting shallow grooves and rabbets
• General trimming, shaping and joinery preparation

Key specifications

• Cutting material: carbide-tipped edges for improved wear resistance
• Shank diameter: 6 mm for compatibility with metric router collets
• Profiles: multiple cutting profiles included for edge, groove and trimming work
• Intended materials: wood, plywood, MDF and similar wood-based materials
• Use: designed for handheld routers and router tables

How to use

Install the selected bit into the router collet and tighten according to the router manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring the 6 mm shank is fully seated and clamped. Set the router speed and cutting depth appropriate to the bit profile and workpiece material; perform trial cuts on a scrap piece to confirm settings. Feed the workpiece or router steadily to avoid burning or chipping and use multiple light passes for deeper cuts. Observe safe operating practices including secure workpiece clamping and the use of protective equipment.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use sharp carbide bits with appropriate router speeds for the material and remove small amounts of material per pass. Keep bits clean from pitch and resin buildup and store them in a protective case. Inspect bits regularly for wear or damage and replace if carbide edges are chipped or excessively dull.
