Router Bits

Routing tools hollow out materials, making them ideal for engraving, grooving and decorative woodworking.

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, chair, 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.
