    Default Router Bits Sourced Locally

    I would like to purchase some carbide tipped router bits, more specifically 45 degree chamfer with guide and a round over bit with guide with 1/4 inch shank. There are plenty available from overseas sites (Amazon, Rockler etc). I'd prefer to buy Freud or CMT. But, I'm having trouble sourcing some competitively priced bits locally (Australia). Does anyone have any recommendations?

    Carbitool

    I am going to look at this mob, when I need some more bits and pieces and no finite time frame. Carbatec for CMT if they have the item in stock. McJing can be a bit hit and miss.

    Thanks Pat. I've found Carbitool to be a bit on the expensive side.

    Trust you got home okay?

    This crowd don't have a huge range but if they have what you want you'll save heaps.

    Bought several myself over time very happy with result and service.

    bits below cost - carbitool and craftmaster bits online

    Cheers

    It is. But, I fear for the Australian retailer. Even with the exchange rate it is, I've saved myself close to $50 buying from Woodcraft. That includes shipping.
