Thread: Custom router bit

I don't think you find any one to do it for much less that price is about right

Would it be possible to build a sled to hold the work at the appropriate angle and feed it through your thicknesser?

Cut the angle with a smaller bit of the appropriate angle and then enlarge it with a plane? You probably wouldn't get exact accuracy on the angle (or I wouldn't) but I think you'd get pretty close.

So the cut of 11/2" (40mm) plus the bearing say 15mm dia, thats approx 95mm dia. Will it fit the hole in your router base plate?

I tried carb-i-tool but for a 1 off it would cost me $280 which is a little bit out of my range for one router bit.

I'm looling for a chamfer bit with a bearing on top,.22.5 degrees which isn't out of the normal but I need it to be able to cut 1.5" of timber.

Does anyone know a tool maker that can make something like this for a reasonable price?

If its straight cut , a job for a spindle moulder. Depending on quantity a cabinet maker could run it for you at a fraction of a router bit price.

Problem solved! I just visited a local furniture maker who will use a tilting panel saw to do the work. Enough wood to do about 10 jobs, total cost $20. Thanks everyone.
