I don't know where else to post this so I am posting it here. I am trying to find bits with an 1/8 shank. I same some aoround bit the cutting part of the bit seemed way too small, they were only a couple hundreths of an inch in diameter. If you could post up a couple links to vendors who carry bits with 18"shanks for cutting wood and ossibly metal I would greatly apprecciate it.

why does it have to be 1/8" shank?

I am using a dremel which has an 1/8" shank. Why, are there adapters I could buy?

I am using a dremel. Is there an adapter I could use to have a wider variety of sizes?

how big of accual cutting diameter do you want?

1/8" - 3/16"

enco has some upto .1" . use-enco.com

MSC has some up to 1/8" mscdirect.com

try lowes dremel section for some bits , i got a 1/4 straight 1/8 shank there
also the rotozip area.
and look at these also.
i've ordered some 1/16th bits from them and been happy with them, just got to find a good adapter now that i have gone to a bigger router.

I used a Dremel tool when I built my router. After a few test cuts, and before I even had the limit switches wired up I replaced it with a 1/4" trim router. In my opinion, the Dremel is too underpowered, even for small stuff.
