8mm Router Bits

[builderbob]

Since its been quite tough to find much of an 8mm Festool router bit selection, I'm looking for input from others here!  I know Lee Valley is offering some 8mm bits and I'm curious if anybody has any experience with these or any others?

Bob:

I can get 8mm shaft CMT bits. It just takes a few weeks and we have to consult.

You rock Tom!  Thanks!  I'll give a ring to you and see what's available to me & go from there!

Somewhat surprising that Lee Valley doesn't offer any round-over bits in their 8mm shank lineup.  [huh]

Wow, good find.  Those never showed up in my search of their 8mm bits.  Thanks.

Waking this thread up again..

Can anyone speak to the quality of the Lee Valley bits? Seems like they have a good selection, although I often wonder the range of what is available overseas.

Most of my routing will be edging and I want a router that easy to handle and maneuver, 1010 fits the bill very well. But how limited is one going to be with 1/4 and 8mm bits? Do they make panel bits in 8mm? After seeing the CMS at Connect yesterday I may end up going in that direction once I get some projects under  my belt with the 1010.
