Need a 1/8 inch shank V groove router bit but only 10 degrees angle

**harry wall** · 13th June 2018, 05:30 PM

My 1/8 inch shank Dremel works well and is light. That is why I'm avoiding the use of a 1/4 inch shank router bit which only fits my much heavier Makita trimmer.
After much internet searching and telephone calls/emails to 25 companies here in Australia I still have not located what I need.

I need a 1/8 inch shank V groove router bit with an included angle of 10 degrees (yes, pretty narrow). The widest part would be 4mm narrowing down to 1.5mm over a distance of about 13.5mm (that gives the 10 degrees). I'd prefer solid carbide but it can be HSS.
Anyone know of where I can buy one or have one made in Australia ?

You won't get a solid carbide bit with a cutting diameter larger than the shank diameter - 4mm is larger than 1/8". You can get short (30mm long) 1/8" shank bits that might suit your purposes and they come with different included angles. They look like a 1/8" carbide rod that's been put in a pencil sharpener and then had half the sharpened end ground off. This is the type of thing - https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/10pcs-lo...0Qk9LRqicg2KTg - they're pretty fragile though, what are you intending to do with it?

I want to cut a 10 degree groove into timber. That's why I'm after a router bit. Router bits in HSS can be made where the cutting part is wider than the shank. Here's just one example.... https://www.dremel.com/en_US/product...ght-router-bit
