Router bit like this but longer - help!

[Philw]

Hello all,

I have the below router bit 1/4” bearing 11.9mm cut which is ~63mm total length shank and blade.
I need it 67mm+ total length just that smidge more to rectify an oversight. Still with the ~11.9-15mm blade size.

Anyone any ideas on where to find this???

Can you just use an extension in the router?

I’d never considered this, thankyou! Googling lots of reviews are poor due to the extension bending. Any recommendations on brand of extension piece?

Just buy a good brand
I have trend ones which have worked okay

If you only need a smidgen more, then rather than use an extension you could use a 1/2" to 1/4" adapter. I use one in my router table all the time for 1/4" cutters because the adapter gives me another 5mm or so (mine is one that has a lip all the way round so gains 2-3mm even pushed right home - it seems very safe left sticking out a further few mm). I have never used an extension, and would be wary of them, but I'm sure good quality ones must be OK or they wouldn't sell them.
