Does anyone make this router bit?

[Skyjerk]

I'm looking for a 1/2" shank, carbide, spiral, double bearing, flush trim router bit with
a 2 1/2" (or more) cut length.

All I can seem to find is 2" cut length or less unless I drop the "spiral" from my search.

Anyone know where a god-like router bit like this could be found? I must be looking in all the wrong places.

Spiral bits get kinda weak over 2" in length and are prone to snapping in half during a cut.....That's why they go straight flute form there to 3"

The only way to get one of those would be to contact a tool grinding place and see if they could make you one. I talked to an end mill manufacturing place near me once and the numbers for custom bits is pretty high. Something like what you want probably starts at around $300, if they even agree to do it, but there may be places significantly cheaper, I just don't know.

Slow down Chris, take your time. You are already too fast building these things!

Seriously though, why do you need more than 2"? I'm always looking for longer end mills for CNC but that's so I can cut deeper cavities, like down to the maple in the control cavity, or even a 3/8" dia bit to go deep enough to do the long legs for pup routes and neck pockets.

Cheers Peter.

PS - I just bought a 2" doc solid carbide spiral flush trim with double bearings. The only reason I wanted that long was so I didn't have to change the bit to a pattern bit.

I know this much, I stopped paying attention after I fought off the urge to respond with;
"Your mom". I'm maturing, in case you haven't noticed.

What are you takin about? I finished the build part of my 22 Magnum two weeks ago and I havent started a new build yet. How long do you expect me to wait?

I dont have a specific need for the bit. Just thought it would be nice to have

LOL, you beat me to it.

Dont mature too much. You'll be no fun at all

The day will never come where a well placed "Your mom" cant lighten the load.

I've been looking at larger spiral cut pattern bits for a while figuring out what I'm going to move to and I have not seen what you're describing with more than a 2" cutting length.

I've been looking at potentially moving to a shaper for this reason, as there are a lot of cutters available for these that would likely suit what you're looking for.
