Need small round over bit

[dtoggs]

Help,I need a small round over cutter bit-preferably 1/16 radius that has a pointed end(no pilot). I called dremel and no luck. Does anyone know if Weecher or Foredom has this cutter? I am trying to cut some stamens(?) or buds in the center of a flower. Any other cutter shape cuts into the adjacent bud. Don't know how to get there ? Can use any help. pandb12167@aol.com thanks.pw

Maby you could try making your own from another Dremel bit, shouldn't be much grinding. Skip

Thanks achaundy,I may have to try make one. Now if I could just remember how to form a grinding stone radius......pw

[achaundy]

Normally you would use a silicon carbide dressing stone. Surely you could buy a Dremel type grinding bit with a close enough radius. Skip

I've looked,but nothing close. I maybe going about this wrong,maybe I should buy a 1/8 stone and grind the radius in another type of cutter. What do you think??pw

[achaundy]

Ah Ha now your getting it I knew you would. Skip

I'll give it a go,nothing to lose since I can't buy one. I guess most people just hand carve with a gouge(roundit around ha ha),but I'm not that porficient. thks,pw

Have you tried using a reglar drill bit and just hack it to a usable length and a little grinding for shape? ONCE

Have you tried using a regular drill bit? Just hack it to a usable length and use a little grinding for shape. I've used small broken drill bits to clean loose matrix out of cracks in fossils.

Thanks fop.. I had not considered that,but it sounds like a good idea. I may give it a try. Thks,have a great day. If you will pm me,I'll show you a set up I devised for a Mill-route. Its mainly a sign carving machine,but I mounted a dremel on the front and will try to carve a tudor rose tomorrow. pwMotorcycle
