I'm trying to source 3/16" Shank Router Bits for Dremel Trio - HELP PLEASE!!
I'm trying to source 3/16" Shank Router Bits for Dremel Trio - HELP PLEASE!!
The standard Dremel router bit is 1/8" shank and then normal router bits are either 1/4" or 1/2" BUT for the life of me I can't seem to find a good source and range of 3/16" Shank Router Bits to fit into the Dremel Trio.
Thank you ladies and gent in advance, appreciate all & any assistance, Cheers, crowie

try stew mac in america ... they have some straight bits for 3/32 ... they may well have other bits as well ... they supply violin etc makers
i think there is also a luthier supplier in melbourne, but whether they have anything like that, i have no idea, but could be worth a try
regards david

We get milling cutters made and sharpened by Jalor Tools in Melbourne, I'm sure they be able to make them to your spec... maybe even machine down the shank of whatever ones you have that don't fit, so they fit your collet.

Doubt if you have any hope of finding anything other than straight bits. If you want profiles, machining down the shaft of 1/4" bits is probably your only choice.

Do so at your own risk. Anything spinning at 20k rpm needs to be balanced to within milligrams, especially when the shaft bearings are probably only the size of your thumb nail and not capable of tolerating the vibration of off-balance tooling.
Just out of curiosity, why not just get a 1/4" trimmer? The Maktec is only $100 and then you have access to 100s of bits

Thank you Ian and all the other gents who have provided ideas, leads and assistance.
I do have an older Makita Trimmer but would like to use the Dremel Trio as it seems to run a little smoother for the smaller jobs/toys I do.
The ordered the router bits from the "C & L Tool Centre".
Cheers all, crowie
