I own 1/2" and 1/4" routers but sometimes a model I'm working on requires
something more delicate. I have several Dremel tools and the router
attachment for them, but other than a few carbide straight bits, I have
nothing that I'd call a router bit with an 1/8" shank. I occasionally see
about 3 different designs in steel -- not carbide -- and hardly anything to
get excited about. Does anyone know of a vendor who carries a selection of
1/8" shank router bits?
[Note: since most of what I'd be cutting is basswood, steel is probably
workable but carbide's preferred.]
TIA

I'll have to check my MLCS catalog too.
Thanks to all who answered.

Ditto on Rockler. They now have a nice selection on 1/8" shaft router bits.
