Worked flawlessly

Would Recommend

Used one of these bits to route a hole in a vinyl fence post for a horizontal rail. First, I made a jig out of oak, then clamped it to the post. Took hours to make the jig, but after only a few minutes with this bit in my router, that post had a perfectly cut and shaped hole for the rail piece. Use a hardwood for the jig so the bit's bearing stays true.

Bosch 3/4" Carbide Straight Bit

This bit performed very well cutting 1/2" deep grooves in plywood. The bottom and sides of the grooves had a smooth finish without any tear out.

Good Router Bits

Bosch seems to have very good router bits. This one performed as expected. The scale printed on the side of the bit is an interesting wrinkle.

Good bit

Would Recommend

Can't go wrong with Bosch, despite it being made in Taiwan. At least it wasn't made in the China where most of our products come from. An extra star for it's country of origin. Worked as I would expect, and appears to be very rugged. Did it's intended job well.

Would expect nothing less from Bosch.

Bosch Carbide-Tipped Bit 85682MC

Would Not Recommend

Out of the box, the Bosch carbide tipped router bit seemed to be exactly what I was looking for. In building a set of deck stairs, I needed a bit that would cut a clean, consistent depth dado in stair stringers to accept the stair treads. The blades were very sharp and maintained their sharpness throughout each cut. It chucked easily in my router and the bearing ran free and smoothly. However, after cutting about six dado's out of the twelve that were required, the bearing vibrated loose and sh...
