Bosch 2 607 017 472 milling cutter

The Bosch 2 607 017 472 milling cutter is a router bit designed for woodworking applications. Constructed with carbide teeth and an 8 mm shank diameter, this cutter delivers precise edges and consistent cutting performance on a variety of wood materials. Its build emphasizes durability and stable operation when mounted in compatible routers, making it suitable for tasks that require clean profiling, trimming, or material removal.

Advantages

Carbide teeth provide increased wear resistance and longer service life compared with high-speed steel, enabling sustained cutting quality. The 8 mm shank diameter ensures a secure fit in many standard routers and collets, reducing runout and improving accuracy. The cutter’s geometry is optimized for clean chip evacuation and minimal tear-out on wood, contributing to smoother surfaces and reduced finishing work.

Suitable for

• Edge profiling and trimming of solid wood and wood-based panels
• Cutting, shaping, and finishing in carpentry and joinery
• Creating decorative edges and grooves on furniture components
• General material removal and routing operations on soft and hardwoods

Key specifications

• Cutting material: carbide teeth for enhanced durability
• Shank diameter: 8 mm for compatibility with common routers
• Intended material: wood and wood-based materials
• Application type: routing, trimming, profiling, and shaping

How to use

Install the milling cutter into a router with a compatible 8 mm collet and ensure the tool is securely tightened before operation. Set router speed and feed rate according to the wood species and cutter diameter; use lower speeds and lighter passes on hardwoods and faster feeds on softwoods where appropriate. Make multiple shallow passes for deep cuts to maintain control and minimize heat buildup. Always observe the router manufacturer’s recommendations for maximum RPM and safety guard placement.

Recommendations

Wear appropriate eye, hearing, and respiratory protection during routing. Inspect the cutting edges regularly and replace the cutter if chips or excessive wear are observed. Use push blocks or jigs when working with small or narrow pieces to keep hands clear of the cutter. Keep workpieces firmly supported and use steady, even feed pressure for best results.
