Router Trim Bits Reviews

ok i bought a cheaper but not much cheaper bit same size as this and i did not get far into my project at all before the bearing exploded and runied my work.
i bought this one and finished that project and another with no signs of dulling and this is in oak.
PLEASE DONT BUY THE CHEAPER BITS MADE IN CHINA
Freud is great and will last

I used this bit to trim my Trex decking flush. It ate throught the Trex like nothing.

As the previous reviewer said, this bit comes sharp and stays sharp. I have enjoyed super smooth cuts in flat sawn red oak, quarter sawn white oak, poplar, pine, and walnut. I can't say enough how good this bit is for flush trimming both free hand and in a table.

I highly recommend it!

I need to know the specific depth of cut. This product does not list it.

The bit arrives sharp and well balanced. Always use at a very low speed like a 2 on a scale of 5.
Only in a router table and only when the router and table are securely matched. This puts out a lot and I mean a lot of vibration. If you don't have a better than average table and support system there may be trouble like: The router lock will vibrate loose and the router will slip down into the table so as to put the bearing off your pattern = gouges and flying wood. Then there is the possibility of the vibration loosening the screws that hold your router to the plate in the table. The router will fall into the table and while running tear anything it touches into pieces while you are protecting your eyes and groping for the power switch. Yes! it happened to me and the bit was ruined. I got another one because no one else makes such a heavy duty bit for a router. No problems now that I know how to use thread loc.

The depth of cut is 1", look at the image.

I agree with the last reviewer 100%. I looked near and far for template guides so I could route out the hinges on some doors I was hanging. This tool would be ideal for the light routing work involved. I looked everywhere for template guides. The manual stated that the same guides that can be used on the 1600 series routers could be used on this trimmer. No universal guides would fit so I went to an authorized Bosch distributor to get them. Even the guides that the employees told me would work did not work. I had little choice but to go out and purchase a new router that could do the job and that had the accessories available. The quality of this trimmer is 5 stars all the way. The accessories are what keeps it from being great all around.

I AM A FLOORING SUB-CONTRACTOR AND HAVE USED THIS LAMINATE TRIMMER WHILE INSTALLING LAMINATE FLOORS. I OWN 4 OTHER BOSCH PRODUCTS BECAUSE OF THIER QUALITY AND RELIABILITY. THIER TOOLS PERFORMANCE AND DURABILITY ARE SECOND TO NONE AT THIS PRICE RANGE; BUT THE COMPANY GETS LOW MARKS FOR DIFFICULTY IN OBTAINING PARTS AND ACCESSORIES IN THE AFTERMARKET. THIS IS THE ONLY REASON I GIVE THIS PRODUCT A 3 STAR RATING.

Recieved my Router Bit set today and it was 1/4" instead of 1/2". As stated in an earlier review, the stickers were coming off and the hinges on the outside of the box are actually installed backwards so they open a little awkwardly. Just sent an email to Amazon to see if they would refund the difference between the 1/4 and 1/2" shanks and will have to wait to see what they say. I live in Hawaii so cannot afford the extra time for shipping back and forth this mistake has cost me.

Received item, bits are clearly 1/4" bits. Not sure if I was shipped the wrong item by mistake. The bits were all out of their spots, and the sticker that shows the cut each bit makes had already come off. Looks like it may have been returned before...I realize that its cheap, I didn't expect them to last a lifetime, but I did expect it to meet its description.

I cant say enough about the quality and preformance of this set
I used the roman ogee bit to run 63 pcs of 8' birch trim and the bit next smoked or burned once! It still looks like new!
I own a router, Mitersaw and some bits from this maker and I am really impressed.
