8mm bearing guided dovetail bit

[Chris_belgium]

Need a bearing guided dovetail bit to use with a dovetail jig I've ordered. Problem is I can't find an 8mm shank bearing guided bit. My bosch router came with 8mm & 12mm collets. Had a look on the wealden site and its 30£ for a 1/4 collet wich is a bit much I think.
Had a look on axminster, wealden, cmt, trend,... and they only offer bearing guided bits in 1/4 shank size, any idea where I could find one with a 8 or 12mm shank size?

Christof.

Hi there,

Have you thought of getting a 1/4" collet, trend do most sizes for all makes of routers I got one for my dewalt 613 and its fine.

I have looked into that and a 1/4 collet is 30£ wich is a bit expensive imo.

They do reducer sleeves 8mm to 1/4 for a lot less
