    Default Rebate Router Bit

    I am looking for a very small rebate router bit suitable for box making. What I have in mind is a bit about 10mm in diameter that will make a rebare 3 to 4mm deep.

    All the ones generally available are 25 - 30mm in diameter, which results in a very broad corner.

    Does anyone know where I could get a bit as described above?

    You might be able to convert a flush cut router bit by changing the bearing.

    Mcjings http://www.mcjing.com.au carry a 1/2 inch flush cut bit and a 3/8 inch bearings this will give you a 12.7mm bit with a 9.5 mm bearing ie 3.2mm rebate.

    Gifkins dovetail sell them- http://www.gifkins.com.au/Boxmaking%20Cutter.pdf
    It's the first router bit in the photos. I have one and find it excellent at cutting rebates in boxes. I use it when the box is dovetailed (with tape for safety) and rebate the base and lid. You just have to round the corners of your lid/base for a perfect fit.
    You can also get different bearing sizes that will cut 1.6mm, or the standard one cuts 5mm deep and 4mm wide.

    Here is a pic

    Thank you both for your advice.

    Love your blog, although I think you are rather more acomplished than me!
