1/4 Dia. Pattern cutting router bit

[Allen Lung]

I'm looking for a 1/4 pattern cutting router bit, any ideas where I can find one.

[Joel Corwith]

't turn one up. But since a 1/4" shank could not have a 1/4" bearing mounted above the bit, not sure if you couldn't just use a 1/4" straight bit?

Pricecutter's got 'em. With bearing.

Allen Lung:

A "pattern" bit, or "template bits" have the bearing between the cutter and the shank.

this case I don't think it's physically possible to have a 1/4" pattern bit unless the shank were 1/8".

A "flush trim" bit has the bearing first, then the cutter and then the shank.

this case I'd claw around the CMT, Freud or Whiteside sites and see what you can scare up.

who uses his pattern bit probably the most...

Then there's the guide method, which uses your existing bit(s).

I'll bite, where?

" is the smallest. same as are you refering to a flush trim bit which he is asking about a patter cutting bit which has the bearing mounted above the bit instead of below it.

of which he is asking about a patter cutting bit which has the bearing mounted above the bit instead of below it.

Yup. I know he asked for a pattern cutting bit, but this is probably what he wanted, or at least it'll probably do the job. I find that most people use the names interchangeably.
