Tools for the toughest demands Overview of router bits A handy guide
Festool router bit selection This guide provides information on the extensive selection of Festool router bits. You will find bits for edge routers along with the edge routers in the accessories section. Router bit dimensions For optimal results, always clamp the router bit as far as possible. At least up to the mark on the shaft. GL (mm): Total length NL (mm): Working length Ø D (mm): Cutter diameter s (mm): Shank diameter Fα ( ): Chamfering angle Marking for minimum clamping length n max. = maximum router speed High performance, high speed steel This steel has mechanical and thermal properties that are best suited for routing soft materials such as, e.g., spruce and pine. Tungsten carbide HW router bits are mostly composed of tungsten carbide. For this reason, these router bits are particularly suitable for working on hardwoods, panel materials and plastics.
