    Where is the best place in Dublin to get router bits? Need to find roundover bits and 2mm straight cutter bits with a 1/4" shank.

    Mc Quillans in Capel Street or in the BlanchardsTown shopping centre.
    Avoid the cheap bits in Aldi, Lidl. You need quality bits like Trend, for safe , shatter proof routering.

    Fair play KADMAN, Do they actually sell router bits in Aldi and Lidl? Do you think Mc Quillans would have a 1/8" srtaight cut roundover bit aswell?

    Mcquillans router bit stocks are very extensive, and I would be very surprised if they do not have the bit you need. Look at the Tool Suppliers thread for other suppliers as well.

    Lidl and Aldi both sell router bits at times. But they are the cheap manufactured bits, something like 10 for 15 euro's. I would not reccomend them for quality work, definitely not for use in solid oak ect,.

    No sense in spending weeks on a quality piece of cabinatemaking, and then destroy it with a broken shank, or tip at 20,000 revs. :eek:
