router Bits

[Bud in PA]

has anyone attempted to grind a half octagon router bit? If so how difficult would it be with only hand tools.

all you need is a 90% V grove router bit. you will need to clean up the bottom flat with a 1/4'' straight bit. hope this helps Rod.

 Yep, I used an old spade bit. Use the muzzle of the barrel you want to inlet as a pattern. Cut it to the pattern, grind and hone the cutting edges, and shorten the shank. Oh, and take small cuts until you get the channel deep enough.
