We are doing some hand carving and hand routing. For wide strokes, are there wide v-carve router bits available for hand routers? I have seen some articles with 120 & 150 degree bits being used on CNC routers. Is there a supplier? -------------------- Jonathan Stumbo Grace Signs 1626 Rivers St. Greenwood, SC, 29649 864-227-5252 signs@grace-signs.com

I don't know about doing it with a hand router but Gerber has V-carving bits for around $60/each in many different degrees up to 150. Also, Whiteside Machine has some I think. Belin Tools might have up to 120 degrees. -------------------- Amy Brown Life Skills 101 Private Address

I don't think you're going to enjoy muscling a wide parting bit. They're very unforgiving. You might want to consider a parting chisel & mallet. -------------------- Steve Purcell Purcell Woodcarving & Signmaking Cape Cod, MA **************************Intelligent Design Is No Accident
