Thread: LF/ Recommendations Miniature Router Bit Sets

I have the Proxxon boxed set, which are suitable for a Dremel (1/8" shank). They lack bearings, so tend to leave a bruise on softer timbers when running along an edge, but are perfect for intricate face work.

Richard, depends what you are using as a router and how complicated the work is. I have a similar set as SJM for use in my Dremel when mounted as a router but I find that I get better results from my bench mounted Triton router using spiral straight bits and other quality bits with bearings for most of my small work on boxes.....Kerry

Lee Valley have 2 sets of 'miniature' router bits, 1/4" shank

Rockler also have a less complete range of similar bits listed also.

I've bought a few miniature solid carbide spiral bits from Stewart McDonald in the US. 1/8" shank - they also sell the collet reducer so the bits fit a 1/4" router. These worked well for cutting mortises for inlay.

Thanks for the tips guys I will check the differant sites..
