My most common metric bits are 3mm, 6mm, 10mm straight cutters the 6 and 10mm with and without bearing, also 10mm and 12mm end cutters.

This Australian link exports to the USA, where the current rate of exchange favours you in the US, they do sell quality cutters. As far as upcut spiral bits goes, I haven't been able to locate any so for dowelling, I use 1/4" and get the dowels from America!

My most used template guides are 20mm, 25mm, 30mm, 35mm and 40mm. I have many others that are only seldom used. For dovetails, I have to use a 1/2" (I'm very versatile!)

The best advice that I can give a newcomer to routing is, learn to use the router mounted, this can be as simple as a board held in a vice, with the router firmly attached and a simple fence held with clamps, and when he/she feels competant and confident in it's use and is familiar with all aspects of safety, THEN, and only then proceed to learn how to use the router hand held. This is MY opinion, and may or may not coincide with that of the forum management, but is based on a lifetime of woodworking.
