Router bits are special cutters used with handheld routers or in a router table to work on wood.
They are usually NOT compatible with a CNC router which uses end mills!
Wear/Maintenance
Router bits can be quite expensive and wear out (verschleißen) over time. We are hoping to have a basic shared set soon but can not guarantee its completeness at any point. Therefore, you should consider getting your own bits if you want to use a router a lot!
Cutters
The hardened metal cutters need to be sharp for the bit to work properly - dull bits can overheat and ruin your day...
To be researched: where/how can they be sharpened sharpened?
Bearings
The ball bearings on those bits that have them should rotate freely - check this before every use and apply a few drops of a suitable lubricant if necessary!
Available at the Space
We currently share a simple set of pretty standard, but low quality router bits. There should be a wooden backup box in the storage room.
Besides this selection, Lukas might let you borrow one of his end mills/router bits for a beer or so ;-)
And maybe some other members would share, too?
