Bosch dovetail router bit is a dovetail router bit for cabinet joinery work, so it suits installers and woodworkers setting up routed dovetail joints. The bit is specified at 15 degrees, which defines the side angle of the dovetail profile and helps produce a consistent geometry from part to part. The cutting diameter is 17/32 inch, so it creates a dovetail cut sized around that width where the bit passes, which matters when matching sockets and pins to a planned layout. A 1/4 inch shank connects this router bit to routers or collets sized for that shank, which helps match the bit to common light and mid-size routers used in cabinet work. The overall length is 1-7/8 inch, giving a compact reach that supports typical drawer side and small cabinet joinery setups where excessive reach is not required.
This Bosch 85240M dovetail bit uses a 1/4 inch shank, so it is designed to seat in 1/4 inch collets, supporting a solid grip during cabinet joinery work. With a 1-7/8 inch overall length, the bit presents a relatively short projection from the collet, which helps maintain control when routing dovetail joints in typical drawer sides or small case parts. The 15 degree profile sets the dovetail angle during passes, which allows jigs and guides designed around that angle to deliver consistent results. The 17/32 inch diameter controls the width of the cut path, so fence distance or jig offset can be set around that measurement when routing matching components. The Bosch branding and router bit classification place it within a professional tool lineup for woodworking and cabinet applications.
This dovetail router bit sits in the Cabinet Joinery category, so its geometry is aimed at cabinet and drawer construction workflows. The 15 degree angle defines the dovetail flare, which makes it suitable where that specific side angle is planned into the joint design. With a 17/32 inch diameter, the bit is sized for relatively compact joints, which aligns with narrow drawer sides and smaller cabinet components where a wide dovetail pattern is not required. The 1/4 inch shank lets the bit run in routers equipped for that shank size, so it can be used in trim routers or similar tools often brought directly to cabinets on site. Its 1-7/8 inch overall length serves applications where a moderate cutting reach is sufficient, such as standard drawer sides or face-frame-scale parts.
The Bosch 85240M designation identifies this specific dovetail router bit, which helps keep replacements or additional bits matched to the same geometry over time. The defined 15 degree dovetail profile keeps the angle fixed, which supports repeatable cuts when routing multiple parts in a single run or across separate jobs. Because the diameter is specified at 17/32 inch, layouts can be drawn and jigs sized around that cut width, helping reduce rework from mismatched socket and pin dimensions. The 1/4 inch shank standardizes the interface to the router, supporting consistent alignment whenever the bit is chucked. Its 1-7/8 inch length limits leverage on the shank during cutting, which contributes to smoother passes in properly supported stock during cabinet joinery work.
The Bosch dovetail router bit is identified as a ROUTER BIT, DOVETAIL in the Cabinet Joinery category, so it is intended for routed dovetail joints in cabinet and drawer construction.
The Bosch 85240M dovetail bit is specified at 15 degrees, meaning it cuts dovetail sides at that angle, which sets the joint geometry for matching pins and sockets.
The 17/32 inch cutting diameter sets the width of the dovetail pass, so drawer and cabinet layouts can be planned around that cut width for proper spacing and fit.
The Bosch dovetail router bit uses a 1/4 inch shank, so it is designed for routers fitted with a 1/4 inch collet, supporting a matching tool interface.
The 1-7/8 inch overall length keeps the bit relatively short, which supports controlled cuts in typical cabinet stock where deep reach is not necessary.
The manufacturer part number 85240M uniquely identifies this Bosch dovetail router bit, helping match future purchases to the same geometry and size.
The Bosch 85240M dovetail router bit combines a 15 degree profile, 17/32 inch cutting diameter, 1/4 inch shank, and 1-7/8 inch overall length to support cabinet joinery tasks. Those dimensions define how the bit behaves in routed dovetail joints, from joint angle to cut width and reach. For cabinetmakers and serious DIY users aiming to use a dovetail bit in the Cabinet Joinery category, this Bosch router bit offers a clearly defined geometry to build repeatable dovetail layouts around. Add it to the router setup where a 15 degree, 17/32 inch dovetail profile on a 1/4 inch shank matches the planned joint design.
