Router Bits

Router bits are high-speed cutting attachments designed for profiling, grooving, and trimming timber. Tungsten carbide-tipped edges withstand high RPMs and heavy-duty site work - allowing you to maintain sharpness when cutting dense hardwoods and manufactured boards.

Exact shank sizes ensure a secure fit within your tool's collet. Metric and imperial measurements cover everything from 8mm to 1/2-inch profiles - ensuring you achieve vibration-free operation when fitting kitchens or manufacturing joinery.

Dedicated template bits feature bearing guides for accurate pattern replication - letting you duplicate complex shapes rapidly across multiple timber pieces.

For long-term performance and reliable edge retention, choose router cutters from trusted brands such as Trend, Freud, and Bosch.

What Are Router Bits Used For?

Router bits are compatible with hardwood and softwood and can create smooth, rounded, straight, cove, ogee and trimming cuts. They are used to carve dado rails, picture frames, cabinetry, doors, chairs, windows, bannisters, baseboards and more. A straight router bit can be used for flush trimming and squaring material, as the router drills at 90 degrees to the material. Other bits include shank router cutters for chamfered cuts or hinge cutting when fitting doors and cabinets. Router bits can be bought in a set with straight, grooving, and dovetail bits in various sizes. Toolstation offers a range of routers from leading brands such as Trend, Silverline, Freud Pro, Bosch and Allen.
