Thread: 3” Spiral Upcut

Yep.

Two places, both excellent.

@Aldav on the forum sells them on eBay. Also on AliExpress: 1pc 3.175mm SHK Wood cutter and 1pc 3.175mm SHK Wood cutter

The HUHAO are my favourite. I've lots of those. If you cant find what you need, pop them an email. They are very helpful.

I've used both extensively and they are excellent.

I would say however, that's a mighty long bit. They break easily.


edit- the 2LX6 72 might fit the bill, it is 3 inches of spiral cutting - HUHAO 1pc 6mm 2 Flutes Spiral with blade CEL 12 72mm

Thanks Woodpixel, i will see if I can find a 1/4” version.

Way cheaper than the freud version I have

I don't have any 1/4" bits left and they were only 65mm long when I did. It's not going to be easy to find what you want. Solid carbide spiral bits are mainly aimed at the CNC market so metric sizes dominate the offerings. Anything that I wanted for the home shop router market that was out of spec. for the segment I had to get made. If a 6mm bit will do the job you can proceed as woodPixel has suggested and buy a 1/2" to 6mm collet adaptor bush.

Thanks aldav. My setup uses a 1/4” so my search continues

Thought I might order some of the other router bits just to test them out however I must be having a blond moment as I cant see you translate the code in the table to an order number? Is there a guide that I need?

Yup - brain fart.

I see now how it works
