Wish I could help, but I bit the bullet and got a Stewmac set a few years ago.
Added a downcut cutter when my brother visited the states last year and could bring it back.
One alternative could be a bogdanovich style jig http://www.jsbguitars.com/productDetails.cfm?product=72

The name catgut is confusing. There are two explanations for the mix up.

Catgut is an abbreviation of the word cattle gut. Gut strings are made from sheep or goat intestines, in the past even from horse, mule or donkey intestines.

Otherwise it could be from the word kitgut or kitstring. Kit meant fiddle, not kitten.

Thanks Colin might do the same ...some things you can't cut corners on (excuse the pun)

Try Wealdon down cut set and you can pick from a selection of bearings that you can buy individually. I have them and they work a treat. Great service and quality from this company too. Here is the link http://www.wealdentool.com/acatalog/Onl ... s_212.html

Very reasonably priced too.

Cheers, Bob

Thanks bob will check them out

Another vote for wealden - good price, good service and excellent quality. If you want downshear cutters you could also get whiteside from routercutter - also good prices.

Like Colin, I have the full Stewmac set , but Wealden is my go-to supplier any time I need a router bit for any other purpose. Excellent fast service.
