Small (8mm ish) dia 1/4 shank top bearing router bit needed?

[julianf]

Im after something like this -

for a one off job. Doesnt need to be fancy.

I need 12mm or less cutting depth, but 8mm or less cutting diameter. The trend one above is 9.5 diameter, but would otherwise do.


This one from weldon tools would do -

and ill spend £35 if i have to, but id rather a cheap trend etc if i (well, you!) can find one?

Thank you!

I see that it's the top bearing that is causing the problem, loads at that size but the bearing is at the bottom.

Could you use a standard straight flute cutter and use the shank as the bearing surface? So an 8mm cutter with 8mm shank or a 6.3mm cutter with a 1/4 shank.

Possibly, thank you. I'll have a think about it, and then maybe spend the £33 anyway!
