Inverted 45degree router bit

Bonzo Delaney

Can any one help
I'm looking for a 45degree chamfer bit the only catch it has to be inverted
Up side down. Like a pyramid with the shank on top.
Reason being: I fit a good few stairs ,lads think I'm mad but I like to house the hand rails into the newels both on the flight and the landings takes a bit of time but never a problem with shrinkage or slightly of square/ twisted newls afterwards. It's grand doing the level rails but a bit of a pain under cutting the housings for the flight rails. A suitable bit would do the job rightly but finding them is looking near impossible to source tried a good few of the recommended shops but it's looking like an American import job. If anyone knows where I could source one this side of the Atlantic id be grateful. Thanks.

Would a dovetail bit work?

Thanks.
Your on the right track there and I honestly tought it'd be as simple as buying a 45degree dovetail bit but the dove tail cutters only go to max 20degree at a push.
See as 95% of stairs are between a 38-42 a 45 degree cut would give me just the right bit of clearance on a 8 mm deep housing on the newl post for the handrail.

Browse www.wealdentool.co.uk If they don't have it nobody does. If you do see it in the US its not a big problem to get it sent over - just avoid the couriers and use USPS.

Great stuff.
Alan, the owner of Wealden, is a gentleman and offers a same day dispatch on orders. Use Parcel Motel to Belfast and save yourself a few £.

You might want to use a straight cutter first to mill out some of the wood. Even trying to use a dovetail bit at its full depth puts a lot of strain on the bit and router. I do this when milling out the dovetail recesses for tripod table legs, otherwise the bit can slow down and cause burning.

What my plan is to house out the post first as normal with the standard 1/2 inch cutter then the under cut bit will be in my second router setup to dept then tidy up with a sharp 1/4 inch chisel.
