Well, yes - not for nothing am I exploring the blade-making avenue. On the other hand what do router cutters cost? (Tailed ones, BB, not for a #71... )
Alf & BB
I never noticed the price list for the separate cutters. At those figures I'll buy the forge or whatever and the steel; BB can do the research & design etc ; Alf can do the easy work cutting them out and heat treating and sharpening them and giving them a final polish.
I'll set up marketing and sell them and we'll split the proceeds, sound like a fair division of labour?? (running and ducking!)
Seriously I doremember gulping at the price of a set of 46 blades from St James Tool Co but they seem cheap in comparison.

Martin
