V-slot cutter Bosch 2608628407 — shank 8 mm, working diameter 16 mm

Bosch 2608628407 V-slot cutter with an 8 mm shank and 16 mm working diameter is designed for routing V-shaped grooves, profile cuts and decorative edges in woodworking and similar materials. The cutter fits routers and CNC machines that accept an 8 mm shank and is intended for tasks such as trimming, grooving, and creating joints where a clean V-profile is required. The tool’s working diameter of 16 mm provides a balance between material removal and detail for standard joinery and decorative applications.

Advantages

This V-slot cutter provides precise V-profile cuts thanks to its geometry and sharp cutting edges. The 8 mm shank ensures compatibility with many compact routers and CNC collets, while the 16 mm working diameter gives consistent groove width and edge definition. Being a Bosch tool, it is produced to manufacturing tolerances aimed at repeatable performance and stable cutting behavior for woodworking operations.

Suitable for

• Routing V-grooves for joinery and panel assembly
• Creating decorative V-shaped edges and profiles on wood and wood-based materials
• Trimming and profiling with handheld routers or CNC machines accepting an 8 mm shank
• Producing slots for inlay work and decorative panels

When it may not be suitable

This cutter is intended primarily for woodworking and similar softer materials; it may not be suitable for heavy-duty machining of metals or very hard composites. For applications requiring larger groove widths or deeper material removal in a single pass, a cutter with a larger working diameter or a different flute design may be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Shank diameter: 8 mm
• Working diameter: 16 mm
• Cut type: V-profile / V-slot
• Intended materials: wood and wood-based materials, plastics (subject to testing)

How to use

Install the cutter in a router or CNC spindle that accepts an 8 mm shank, ensuring the collet is clean and tightened to the manufacturer’s torque specification. Set the cutting depth and feed rate appropriate for the material: use multiple shallow passes rather than a single deep cut for harder materials or when high edge quality is required. Secure the workpiece, use appropriate clamping and guide fences for straight V-grooves, and employ dust extraction or a mask to manage chips and dust. Allow the cutter to reach full speed before engaging the workpiece and avoid lateral shocks to the tool.

What to consider before purchase

• Compatibility of your router or CNC collet with an 8 mm shank
• Material types you will work with and whether a V-profile cutter is suitable
• Required groove width and depth — 16 mm working diameter determines groove characteristics
• Appropriate router speed and feed settings for the chosen material

Usage recommendations

Use the cutter with gradual depth passes, appropriate speeds for wood or plastics, and firm clamping. Regularly inspect the cutting edges and replace the cutter if chips or wear affect cut quality. For best results on fine work, perform test cuts on scrap material to set depth and feed.
