: Yo Marcel

: I am in New Zealand. I did the dirty trick of getting the wood supplier dudes
: to cut my western red cedar into lovely strips - better than what I could
: have done and only for a case of beer - the price was right.

: Now I want cove and bead bits for my buddies router. I get all sorts of lame
: excuses from our local supplier: "They are not machining the cove
: bits that you want, but I can get the bead bits for you at $80 NZ and we
: might be able to get some cove bits from a different source, but that will
: be $100 NZ .... if you sell your house and hand over your wife, I might be
: able to do it before 2005 ...."

: The grizzly site sure looks good and is about 100% cheaper than the quoted
: local prices (even with dollar exchanges). My problem is that the cove and
: bead bits in the router bits section of the grizzly site don't quite look
: like what I was expecting.

: Am I missing something or do you use those half bead and half cove bits and
: have your strips set on an angle? or am I just looking in the wrong place.

: Thanks for the glimmer of hope

: Pete

Lee Valley also stocks the bits in both 1/4 and 1/2 inch router shafts

I bought some of the 1/4 inch bits and they worked great
Lee Valley has excellent quality

good luck
