    Default Tiny router bits?

    Where can I get very small diameter (around 2 mm ) router bits for a dremel? For cutting wood to inlay pearl into.
    Thanks.

    If you go to a bigger hardware shop that stock Dremel stuff, you might find some useful bit as well.

    Hi Pugwash,

    mytoolstore.com.au is where I buy my router bits for my Proxxon and Dremel. I use their carbide downcut spirals (Carbide Downcut Inlay Router Bit Set 5 Piece - My Tool Store) in a Proxxon mounted on a Microfence micro plunge router base for veneer inlays. Mytoolstore has a wide range of tiny router bits and they are in Oz.

    Thanks to everyone for your help and advice. The spiral downcut bits are exactly what I need, I'll let you know how I get on. I have a very old Dremel that I bought in the 70's with a router base, not as pretty as the new ones but still working as well as the day I bought it.

    What I really love about the base it's you can see everything as its so open. I have the dremel base, but it's horrible. ...
    The open design is a real benefit to dust. ...


    I have both as well, I have a Fordom flex shaft that I use in the Stewmac router base.
