1/2” template trim bit

[memzey]

Hi gang and happy new year.

I’m looking for a 1/2” shank and diameter router bit with a top bearing and bottom cutters (to enable plunging). Needs to have at least 19mm of cutter depth but ideally a little bit more. I can’t find one on the Wealden site and was hoping someone here could point me in the right direction? Screwfix do sell such a bit but are charging over £40 for it and I would like to spend a bit less than that if possible!

I've just ordered one of these as an all rounder - I suppose you could always use an ordinary cutter to plunge a hole first? I don't recall ever seeing one with bottom cutter and a top bearing, but I wouldn't think they could be that uncommon.

Wealdon do have them, but more expensive than you wish to pay: https://www.wealdentool.com/acatalog/On ... m_724.html
This one looks as though it should plunge and is cheaper: https://www.wealdentool.com/acatalog/On ... m_279.html

Thanks guys - Mike does that second one have bottom cutters? It must be able to plunge for my needs.

It certainly looks as though it does, but you need to ask Wealdon to be sure.
