    extended length router bits

    anyone know where I can find some? I remember someone, I think Ger, posting a link a while back. Basically I'd like to find and upcutting spiral flute carbide ball mill that's longer than the standard thing (.75").

    and does anyone have experience & tips/pointers on using them? (using a 1/8" ball mill for overall finish, & have ordered a 1/16" ball mill for letter detailing, sign work).

    it doesn't say how long the 1/8" is but it does say the 1/4 is long:

    BDP003 is a 1/4” diameter with a 1-1/2” LOC 1/4” shank, 3” OAL & ball end

    BDP002 1/8” Ball Nose $54.00

    that I can tell. But if it is long it looks good.

    You'll need to call them, but from the pic it looks about the same.
