    Places to buy router bits

    Hi - I am looking for somewhere to buy router bits. The particular bit that I want is a bullnose bit which is similar to an end mill but with slightly rounded edges. None of the retail type stores stock it that I have found so I'm thinking it's more an industrial thing. Anyway if anyone could recommend a supplier or website I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
    Cheers
    Rod

    Sutton have a range of bull nose bits with their B0204 series. Radius of 0.3, 0.5, 1, 2mm depending on the bit.
    8mm $45..$48
    6mm $31..$35
    4mm $25
    (3mm and 5mm also in the range.

    They have a catalog on them, 499980401_Endmill_CornerRad.pdf
    Home | Sutton Tools

    Last time I bought them, I got them from Prime Industrial Supplies, Prime Industrial Supplies
    They might not have them on the website, but just send them an email with the part numbers and they'll send you a quote. I think they actually get Sutton to drop ship them direct to you. www.bolt.com.au is another online place with Sutton bits, but their pricing has been the same or a few bucks more.

    Forgive me, but ... I am not a fan of Sutton. I have a range of new unused Sutton drill bits (1 mm - 8 mm), and half of them (very roughly) have visible runout at the tip when correctly mounted in a collet. Put them on a surface plate and you can see daylight under the middle. OK, I am talking maybe 0.1 mm, but that's too much for me.
    I have never had that problem with Dormer drill bits.

    Cheers

    I use centurion tools. They are located in the industrial air park, Louis Virginia.

    WWW.centuriontools.com

    I have been very happy with them for many years.
