I'm pretty sure that I've seen them at Highland Hardware (GA. & on the
Internet) and that they have 8mm shank ones as well (if you get another
"deal" on a router <VBG>).

I believe that Amana makes router bits with a 3/8" shank. If you have
a cabinet shop nearby they may have a distributor that can get you
what you need. I think that 3/8" shank bits are industrial bit sizes.

...and which site was that? I have saved all the ones that have been sent
to me, so far. I am slowly checking them out as time goes by. :)
If the collet is removable, why not hit a local machine shop and have them
make you one that would allow you to accept 1/4" shank bits? Not as sturdy
but alot more available.

Several of the local gurus have tried, and continue to use, 3/8" shank end
mills, as are sold for metal working, for routing wood. The thinking
is/was, that these had more flutes, offering a smoother cut, and were quite
cost effective as well.
I bought a 3/8" collett for one of my PC routers, when I came across it,
but, so far, haven't done anything with it.
So check out metal working supply sources, if such are reasonably available
to you. I remember pricing in the sub $10 range, but my memory of certain
details isn't perfect.

Before you do that, review very carefully the site Pat Warner recommended
in an earlier post. Pat's one of the true router gurus.

The router, itself, has a hell of a lot more power than anything I have
used. The only drawback is the fact Milwaukee no longer makes the damn
thing. But, I will use it with whatever bits I can find for it. I can
always thicken the1/4" bits I have, but I don't really want to go that route
just yet.

Try a machine tool supply store, they have completely different
sources with most bits of pure carbide and of less expense than the
"woodworking" sources.
Case in point 1/2" solid carbit up spiral for $24.00
I bought a "worn" 3/8 up spiral for $3.00 had it sharpened for $6.00.
I should have bought their compression bit when it was out too, but
didn't figure I would ever use it.

I don't think the collet is removable. I already have a 1/4" that is
sitting on the floor doing nothing, now. :) I didn't realize they made these
3/8" routers when I bought this router last weekend, so now I am just
looking for what I need to run it.

Okay, thanks for the information. I checked out that Leigh place, and I
wasn't getting anywhere online. It looks like they just make moulding for
you?
