Bosch 2608628440 Standard for Wood Straight Bit for Palm Routers 6mm Shank

It’s suitable for soft and hard solid wood as well as wooden composites. It performs well on projects requiring straight grooves, slots, rebates, and precise edge work.

Shank: 6 mm cylindrical shank; Total length: 48 mm; Working length: 15.6 mm; Cutter: tungsten carbide; Pack: single (sold individually). Designed for compatibility with 6 mm shank palm/hand-held routers and for kickback reduction.

Ideal for edging, grooving, trimming, slotting, rebates, and jointing. Its stable carbide tip and 15.6 mm working length help you achieve accurate results in a variety of straight-cut woodworking applications.

Insert the bit into a 6 mm collet on your palm router, tighten securely, and ensure the bit is properly seated. Set a conservative depth and make multiple shallow passes rather than a single deep cut. Always follow the router’s manufacturer guidelines for feed rate and RPM.

Wear appropriate PPE (eye/ear protection, dust mask as needed). Clamp the workpiece securely, keep hands away from the bit, and avoid kickback by using steady feeds and proper depth. Let the bit do the work and avoid forcing the router through the cut.

Carbide bits are durable, but once the edge dulls, replace the bit for clean cuts. Avoid overheating by using sensible speeds and cutting strategies, and keep the bit clean and free of debris when not in use.

Compared to other 6 mm Bosch straight bits on Fepy, this model emphasizes kickback reduction and a robust carbide tip for longer life.

Yes, when you factor in carbide durability, Bosch build quality, and its suitability for a wide range of straight-cut tasks (edging, grooving, joints), it offers solid value for both professionals and serious DIYers. If you need a 6 mm shank with similar capabilities, compare the listed Bosch alternatives on Fepy to weigh price against features and longevity.

Typically, for wood with carbide straight bits like this, you’ll operate in the range of roughly 20,000–30,000 RPM, adjusting to your router’s guidelines and the material. Start at a lower speed and test cut on a scrap piece to dial in the best performance.

Yes, it’s suitable for rebates and jointing. Work in multiple shallow passes rather than one deep cut to maintain control and minimize heat buildup. A common approach is 0.5–2.0 mm per pass, depending on material hardness and desired final depth.

Use a stable clamping setup, ensure your router is compatible with a 6 mm shank, and verify that the collet is tightened properly. Align the workpiece, start with a shallow depth, and progress with light, steady passes while maintaining consistent feed pressure.
