Note they are 8mm shanks, so you will need an alternate collet, and not all 1/4" routers will be able to take them.

(although if your 1/4" machine can use them, 8mm shanks give quite a bit of extra rigidity)

ISTR they have a very short shank. I prefer 8mm shank as it substantially stronger then 6.35/1/4" . If my maths is correct the cross section is close to 60% bigger

Are they tungsten carbide.? I bought a set of BOsch bits a long time ago but thye were h.s. steel istr

Yup 8mm does not sound much larger, but it's a substantial increase in strength. It can mean you can run some bigger cutters in a 1/4" class machine that would traditionally need the larger 1/2" platform.
