Small bits & routers

Post by Kym »

Hi,
I would like some Web sites to enquire about small bits- Ball nose eg 1.5mm 2mm 3mm etc and the router machines that hold these small bits.

Are these metal working bits or wood?

I run a 3.25 horse Porter Cable router on my machine which is a bit of overkill for this type of machining, and also very noisy when you are machining files that take hours to complete.

Cheers......Kym

Most of these are for metal, but can be used for general use.
I'm not affiliated with any of these sites, but appear to be reputable.
