The lifespan of a router bit depends the material it's made from, the special coating it has as in the Spektra extreme life coating on the Amana brand bits. It also depends on the frequency and proper use and the type of material being cut. On average, a high-quality carbide router bit can last between a few months with heavy use to a few years with regular hobbyist use. Proper maintenance and avoiding overheating by forcing the bit can help extend its life.
