    Looking for large wood end mill

    This is for Kuka robot with spindle. I can't seem to find any very large wood end mills - 1"+dia, 8"+ length. Does anyone know where I can find tools like this? Thanks.

    That's going to be custom, and cost $500-$1000.

    You can get 1" bits up to about 4" flute commonly, in carbide designed for aluminium, which is well suited to wood.
    You can also get reduced shank tools with short flutes and a longer shank. If all you really need is reach, those might be the best choice, as they wont cost near as much a custom ground cutters.

    If you can do larger diameter there may be some insert helix cutters in the 6" to 7" flute length size range, basically mini jointer drums. The diametres will be large though, at least 2".
