ykabban -> Need help finding bit! (Oct. 21 2006 15:52:40)

Okay, I can't find a flush trim router bit with a diameter smaller than 1/2".

Does anyone know where I can find one? I can't find one anywhere.
Granted I'm not very internet savy, but I've been searching here and there for ~ a week, a week!!

I'd be much obliged if one of you internet gurus could point me in the right direction. I refuse to believe they don't exist. This is what I'm looking for:

Flush trim router bit diameter < 1/2" (Shaft ~1" long with ball bearing on base, to be used on routing table)
Thanks in advance.

Hmm... every local hardware store around my place have 1/4 and 1/2 bits. Plus laminate trimmers only take 1/4, so I guess if a store sells laminate trimmers, there should be 1/4 bits. I bought my flush trim bit in a Home Depot.

Standard bits come in a hundred diff. sizes, but I need flush trim, with a ball bearing. I've looked in Home Depot, Lowe's, and 2 Ace Hardware's...nothing. Just "1/2; show me a pic online if you find one please.

Like I said, I bought my 1/4 Flush trim bit with a ball bearing from a Home Depot, they placed next to the 1/2 bits, on the same shelf. Ask someone over there. I actually bought a 1/2 bit without knowing the fit on my router and I had to return it in exchange of a 1/4 bit, which I did.

ykabban,

I don't think there is one that is made smaller than 1/2 with bearing on bottom. This is what I was told when looking for one by many stores. I've only seem them smaller with bearing on top.



ykabban -> RE: Need help finding bit! (Oct. 22 2006 0:04:20)

Thank you Tom, that's exactly what I'm starting to believe. The bottom bearing flush bits seem to have a 1/2" minimum diameter. I could make one, but I'd rather just buy one. When I saw that Rockler's didn't have 'em, I began to lose hope.



TANúñez -> RE: Need help finding bit! (Oct. 22 2006 1:16:27)

I actually got my 1/2 diameter from Rockler. They have nice stuff for affordable prices.

Are you talking about a bit like this:

TANúñez -> RE: Need help finding bit! (Oct. 22 2006 14:10:13)

Yes but with the bearing on the bottom.



ykabban -> RE: Need help finding bit! (Oct. 22 2006 18:58:41)

What Tom said.[:)]



DoctorX2k2 -> RE: Need help finding bit! (Oct. 23 2006 0:44:35)

Then, the same company has it : http://www.freud.ca/English/Pages/Bits/EdgeTrimming/TopBearing/TopBearing.html

I just had a different point of view of what was the top and bottom of a bit when I read the thread [:D]



ykabban -> RE: Need help finding bit! (Oct. 23 2006 1:03:38)

I really, really appreciate your help, but look again Doc. They don't have it.
I need 1/4" diameter, my kingdom for a quarter inch[:@].



TANúñez -> RE: Need help finding bit! (Oct. 24 2006 13:14:49)

If you do end up finding one with a 1/4 diameter please let me know but I really think there isn't one made. [:@]



ykabban -> RE: Need help finding bit! (Oct. 24 2006 14:12:08)

Will do.
