Router bit Bosch B 2608628367 — 8×8×40 mm cutter for wood and soft materials

Bosch router bit B 2608628367 — 8×8×40 mm cutter for wood and soft materials is a single-flute cutter designed for precise edge profiling, groove cutting and general milling tasks in wood and other soft substrates. The tool's solid cutting geometry promotes consistent chip evacuation and clean cutting edges, making it suitable for both handheld routers and table-mounted machines with a compatible collet. This cutter is intended for professional and hobby woodworking tasks where accurate, repeatable cuts and minimal tear-out are required.

Advantages

The cutter's geometry provides smooth cutting action and reduced vibration, resulting in clean profiles and consistent groove dimensions. Its compact 8 mm cutting diameter and 40 mm cutting length offer control and accessibility in narrow or detailed work. Balanced design supports stable machining at typical router speeds, and the tool is compatible with standard router collets for straightforward installation and replacement.

Suitable for

• Edge profiling and chamfering of solid wood and veneered panels
• Cutting shallow to medium-depth grooves and dados in softwood and plywood
• Trimming and shaping laminated materials and MDF
• Detail work on mouldings, frames and furniture components

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 8 mm
• Cutting length: 40 mm
• Shank diameter: 8 mm
• Material compatibility: wood and other soft materials such as plywood, MDF and laminates
• Flute type: single-flute geometry for efficient chip removal
• Suitable mounting: handheld router and table-mounted machines with matching collet

How to use

Install the router bit into a router or spindle with an appropriate collet and ensure the shank is seated fully and secured. Select a suitable spindle speed for the material — lower speeds for laminates and higher speeds for solid softwoods — and make incremental passes rather than trying to remove large amounts of material at once. Feed the workpiece against the direction of rotation for controlled cutting and consistent finish. Use appropriate clamps and guides to maintain a steady cut path and avoid lateral movement.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use sharp router bits and make multiple light passes when profiling or cutting grooves. Wear eye and hearing protection, and secure the workpiece firmly. Inspect the cutter regularly for wear or damage and replace it if edges become rounded or chipping occurs. Match feed rate and spindle speed to the material to reduce tear-out and prolong tool life.
