    Default Were to get best price to purchase 1/2" upcut flute spiral router bit

    Not happy with results from routing 60 dado trenches to cut.
    I have another 150 to go.

    Carb-i-tool sells their 1/2" upcut flute spiral for $91
    Carbatec is $119 with two ball bearing guides

    Anyone know where to get one for about $40 - $50?

    Some where close to Melbourne where I can pickup today?
    Thanks,
    Barry G. Sumpter

    Whiteside from Holbren USA. I have 5mm solid carbide upcut spiral from them. Won't get it today though - about 2 weeks shipping by post. On current exchange rate. US40 is about the same as CarbiTool after shipping (mine was about US12 for a few things). So may as well get the CarbiTool.

    I purchased that one from Carbitec.
    Haven't used it for dados as yet but every time I use it its cuts cleaner.


    I have to post that when Carbitec have actual stock their prices are acceptable in comparison.
    Used to be I could get things cheaper from the US including postage.
    Not anymore.

    Having to wait 2 weeks from the US.
    Compared to 6+ weeks and still not knowing for sure from Carbitec.
    I order from the US.
    Even if I have to pay an extra $15 to $25 AU for the more expensive items.
    Thanks,

    What does it mean "Store seller is currently away"?

    Probably not available at the mo.

    If you need to communicate with him, send him a private message here.

    He's just responded to my queries in a very professional manner.
