1/8" cut diam x 5/8+" deep router bit

[Scott H]

I'm looking for a router bit that cuts 1/8" diameter at least 5/8" deep and with a 1/4" or 1/2" shank. I'm wondering if that is too much to ask of carbide, though, because it seems like e.g. Whiteside does not make them. I have a pattern where I am trying to minimize the radius on the inside corners of the workpiece as much as possible, which is why I am wanting to use the 1/8".

All I can find so far is this bit on amazon from FivePears but I have never heard of FivePears and I am not really in the practice of buying router bits from unknown companies. (Happy to hear if anyone can vouch for them though.)

Other alternatives I'm considering are:

• Get a 1/8" collet (probably for the DWP611) and use a CNC bit, but that seems like it could be more expensive than a bit I don't have much use for that setup otherwise. Also know nothing about CNC bits.
• Get a 5/32" diameter bit, but that is going to (slightly) increase the corner radius it produces on the work.
• Laminate the workpiece after routing, but then I have a new problem of getting the pieces registered exactly.

Thanks for your thoughts everyone.

Thank you, was trying to look through their catalog but had trouble finding anything due to how it's organized. Dang, not cheap though, $36+. Will have to think about that one. Much appreciated though.

Thanks, also found one that is a similar price range ($36): *AstraHP Coated* Bits&Bits 425-SRF125LR – 1/8″ Long Reach Up-Cut Spiral Bit – 1/4″ Shank

Will have to compare shipping and the Jay Bates discount and decide if I want to do things this way, but thank you everyone.
