howdy folks...
is there such a thing as a 1/8" straight cut router bit with a 1/2" shank?
if so, where can i find one? i've searched Woodcraft, Freud, Jessada, and
Ammana websites without any luck.
i've recently acquired a <gloat> Hitachi M12V at Lowe's for $159.00</gloat>
and mounted it in my table. i would prefer not to have to switch to the old
1/4" shank POS Ryobi just to use a 1/8" bit on the occasions when it is
necessary. thanks...

Get a collet adapter bushing that goes from 1/2" to 1/4". Lee Valley part #
16J97.04 $3.25. US.
They just drop into your collet the same as your router bit.

I've also checked Whitside and Lee Valley, Liberty, with no luck. It is a
PITA to change collets for the 1/8" slots.

I know Titman do a 1/8" x 3/8" length with a 1/2" shank
Don't know if anyone stocks them in the USA though.
The M12V should come with a 1/4" reduction sleeve,
but it might be worth getting a proper 1/4" collet.
