Description of πͺ Bosch 85530M Slotting Blade with Carbide Tips
Cuts slots for moldings, weather-stripping, and other edge details. 3 wing cutter with 5/16 In. arbor hole. Carbide tips on steel body for long life. Used for biscuit joint cutting. 3 wing design for smooth cutting.
Perfect for my Bosch nozzle and ideal for cutting #10 and #20 biscuits. I have previously ordered this item from Revain but it had a 1/4" arbor and had no problem returning the cutter. Revain Prime re-listed this cutter, I took a chance and ordered it again, this time it was the right item.
The winged biscuit did not look like the picture. I received an all black item as opposed to the dark blue item in the picture. I didn't try it because I didn't have the shaft with the right mandrel. Not returned because the return shipping cost exceeded the value of the item. Hope it works when I try it later.
When it comes to precision cutting tools, I try to only buy Bosch tools. They stay sharp and precise. I used this tool to cut slots for framed cookies (FF size) and the cut came out smooth and didn't strain my 1HP Craftsman router. For a professional carpenter, it's worth spending a little more on a tool, especially if you plan to use it more than once.
