feather grinding on router table?

[D. Johnston]

Jeremy, The biggest bit I have been able to find was a rotary burr that was only one inch long.(cutterhead) That would probably work fine for grinding feathers with the addition of a bearing to index a flush cut, but I have other uses in mind. A larger bit like the one Charlie is using would be perfect for what I have in mind.

Guys! Like I said, a machinist friend gave me that bit dang near 20 years ago and I don't have a clue what it is or that it could be so hard to locate.

If a machinist supply place can't help I don't know what to tell ya.

Trying right now to remember the name of the big mail order machinist supply catalog we used to use when I worked in that biz.... but that escapes me too.

Poop!!!

This may work.

Charlie, how tall is the cutter head on that bit? (Length between the bearings) I'm guessing it's close to 1 1/2" by the looks of it.

A shop vac will take care of the dust problem. Just set it up so that the hose plugs into a small hood around the backside of the bit.

I have emailed that picture of the bit to several woodworker friends and nobody has ever seen anything like it.

The quest continues...
