[QUOTE="JimGore, post: 66555, member: 3"] Hi Byron, Not an easy thing to find in this country. Some of the best router bits are from a company called "Whiteside" in the US, but it isn't really worth the cost when shipping, etc is included. Most of my router bits are the Tork Craft ones, and they work well enough if you keep them sharp. For serious cutting and recessing, I usually buy Tungsten Carbide end mills (or slot drills) which they use in serious milling machines to cut steel, etc. They usually only come in 1mm increment shank sizes, so you will need a router that has a 8mm or 12mm collect. I do not recommend putting a 12mm shank end mill into a 1/2 inch collect by any means. If you want some, let me know & I will phone up the guys tomorrow to get a price for you. The last time I bought an 8mm end mill, I paid around R 160 for it. Regards, Ian. [/QUOTE]
