    Default Can't find a 11.25 degs chamfer/bevel bit with 1/4" shank

    Hi all, sometime lurker but haven't jumped on these forums in about 4 years!
    I'm doing a little project which will be essentially a hardwood cylinder with 16 strips of timber.
    Being 16 pieces around the circumference, I need to get an exact 11.25 degrees which will no doubt be difficult on my Triton saw bench - the slot is too narrow anyway to angle the blade.
    So rather than using the saw, I can just get a router bit with a 11.25 degree chamfer.

    I scoured the internet high & low and all the bits are 1/2" shank. My router takes 1/4" shanks.
    Anyone know where I can get a 1/4" shank router bit with a 11.25 deg chamfer?

    Alternatively I can use a dovetail bit, but they all seem to be 10 degrees or 14 degrees. That may be my best alternative as I could just use 18 strips to make the cylinder. That means I can use a 10 deg dovetail bit to chamfer the edges.

    Thx all

    A buzzer is jointer. One tilts the back plate the desired angle.

    Yonico sells what you want: its part 13911q ... here is a link: 11.25 Degree Chamfer Edge Forming Router Bit - 1/4" Shank - Yonico 13911q | eBay but hunt around for a good price/seller. This was simply the first I found.

    I dont know anything about Triton tables, but what is the reason it doesn't tilt? Is it not made to?

    Nope, I don't have a jointer.
    I did actually see that router bit, but I have read some reviews on the Yonico brand that don't appear too favourable.
    However I think they're the only brand who make them. I might just have to bite the bullet and risk it.

    Regarding your question on the Triton table, my circular saw which is attached to the table can angle. But the slot the blade protudes through is very narrow, about 6 or 7 mm.
    Anyway, any circular saw cut at an angle would be hard to get a precise degree to 0.1 deg tolerance. I figure a router bit would be much more accurate.

    You use a digital angle guage like this: LCD Digital Angle Gauge Protractor Bevel Box Magnets Inclinometer Measure 0-360° | eBay

    On the brand, if its just a one off job, it's a decent compromise. If you are doing dozens of vases or a hundred, sure, go for the good stuff. I've a few Yonico's and think they are pretty good. The finger jointer and slicer/joiner bits are going strong, plus the fine tongue and groove ones are doing well too. I certainly can't give them any negatives.

    Yeah I know about those digital gauges. Was thinking of getting one but then I found free apps which can do the same job using my phone!

    My job will be a once off, or maybe 2 if I get really enthusiatic! I was thinking that accuracy is important because when all 16 pieces come together to form the polygon I want all sides to perfectly meet & match evenly.

    Carbitool make a 22.5o included angle V bit which obviously has a 11.25o side angle.

    CARB-I-TOOL - Router Bit and Accessories Catalogue - NOVEMBER 2015

    It comes in a 1/4” shank.
