Cheaper source for this router bit?

It's the staff bead nosing bit from Trend with a 5mm radius (and complementary staff flute)

I've tried the usual places like Wealden but perhaps I've missed them. £54+ VAT is a bit :shock:

Can't you do it with the spindle?

The trend craft range C070 will do the same with a 5.2mm radius for £34.20 or a more useful bearing guided corner bead at 4.8mm radius for the same money.

Thing is that I want a radius of 5mm or thereabouts and also the complementary to get a dust-proof seal. I can't see the complementary cutter in the Trend Craft range.

Likewise in spindle cutters..I can find cutters that will create the beab/bull nose but none that do the complementary.

Also using a router gives me a better finish as it spins faster. And as the stock is quite narrow, moire controllability on the table.

Wealden`s is a 6mm bead, but at £17-70 & the matching flute £23-50

Cheers.

Hi Roger,

I believe I have got a 5mm radius staff bead cutter - If its only needed for a one off job or if it helps I could post it to you to use and then let me have it back in due course.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions and especially to Rog for the offer of the loan. Think I will probably go down the 6mm route partly because with the 5mm that increases the chances of the wood splitting/shearing.
