| Post subject: | Chamfer router bits |
Does anyone know of a source for a 45 degree chamfer bit with a 1/8" shaft and roller bearing on the end? I've searched the internet without success. I have found 1/4" shaft bits with the bearing. I've also found them with a 1/8" shaft but no bearing. I find the bearing is necessary to avoid burnishing the bearing surface on the inside of the string slots. The 1/8" shaft is necessary to allow use on a small rotary tool to get all the way around the string slot on the back of the head. A laminate router base hits the back of the neck with about an inch to go on the slot. Any sources or ideas? Thanks, Max |

The porter cable lam trimmer offers an offset router base that might allow you to get closer |

You can make your own offset base by attaching a piece of wood or UHMW to the existing base. Alex |

The offset router base actually moves the router bit to the edge of the base using a toothed gear and belt arrangement. I might even have one around for a 310 trimmer although I no longer have a 310 router to go with it .  The offset I use is with my 7310 routers and still available: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Porter-Cable ... /203162764 Depth adjustment is limited and it may be necessary to fabricate different thickness sub bases to get to the depth you want to use. |

Thanks for the input. I found an offset router base for the Bosch Colt and I have one of these. Looks like it will do what I want. Thanks again, Max |
