What Customers Are Saying
The product has received mixed reviews. Some users found it to be a high-quality and effective tool for creating clean, precise joints, while others encountered issues when trying to use it with 3/4-inch stock. The bit sometimes left a small sliver of wood on the end side, and adjusting it to address this problem often resulted in the tongue being too small. The product required a lot of trial and error and adjustments to get the settings right. Some users experienced problems with the bit breaking or becoming dull prematurely, especially when working with harder woods. However, many customers appreciated the convenience of being able to cut both the tongue and groove with a single bit, and found that it produced excellent results once properly set up.

it was what i needed

Could be a great set!
Bosch needs to include shim washers to fine tune the grooves.

Poor quality
The bottom blade tips all chipped or wore off within a few passes on router table, too blade was fine. This happened on pine wood I was doing a test run, hardwood would tear this bit to pieces. Maybe I just got a defective blade.

Ok for small floor runs.
I purchased this to do homemade flooring. So far so good. However I do wish they sold as a two piece set over a single as one of the bits will get twice as much wear

2nd time is the charm
First bit set was bad. All three carbide tips broke off at some point during setup and the second stile. I was using Poplar. Lowe's app said only 1 set in stock. Returned without issue. I took a chance and found another two sets in the store. The second set worked well. I found it difficult to cut the tongues after cutting the grooves. the shoulders are uneven. I should have watched a video for pointers. only giving 4 stars because of 1st set was bad.
Does not cut 3/4” stock
I had the same exact issue. When trying to cut 3/4” stock, if leaves a little sliver of wood on end side. If you try to adjust it to cut that off then the tongue is too small.

It has a 1/2 in shank which is excellent!
Bosch is a very reputable brand that I trust. My router and router table are Bosch and they are built of good quality. Just started using this bit to do shaker cabinet doors. So far its going well as I am going thru pine and poplar. I still have to test it with harder woods. One aspect tha I would have preferred is that instead of one bit to do both the tongue and the groove that they would sell two bits just like other brands do I am a newbie in woodworking and notice that if you missed cente...
