CMT Router cutters

[Woodmatt]

Hi All,
Does anyone know what I can buy CMT router tooling ( metric shank sizes) in the uk other than Scott & Sargent,plenty of Imperial size dealers Thanks Matthew

OK, I'll bite, why metric?

Apart from 8mm, which is a handy step up from 1/4" (6.35mm), almost every router available here either has imperial collets supplied or as accessories. And there is a lot of CMT about in 1/2".

I only have one CMT cutter (multi-profile), and it's very good, but there are other good brands out there. Does it have to be CMT?

CMT list all their agents on the Italian website. Scott & Sargent have an excellent catalogue with the cutters and drill bits in.
Titman and KWO have lots of metric cutters as well

Hi Shrubby and \Eric

I am looking to produce this "Maloof" joint

http://lumberjocks.com/projects/25005

and need these two cutters

http://scosarg.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=935.001.11
http://scosarg.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=938.380.11

but I only have two routers both of which have a max collet size of 8mm and I did not really want to go down to a 1/4" as you say ( 6.35mm)

Eric I have just gone to their web site,it looks good so will need to have a good read,thanks for the details,they are a name from my past but had forgotten about them ( like a lot of things these days)

Regards
Matthew

I produce that joint with Wealden cutters but they are half inch shank and I would not want to reduce that by much. I noticed Whiteside now advertise a set of Maloof joint cutters but I think being from USA they will be half inch as well.

Matthew, Yes that is a Hal Taylor design. I bought the templates and the original book. It took about 120 hours to make that one.
