I am looking for a good quality 5/16" diameter flush trim cutter with bottom bearing on a 1/4" shank. I have looked at Freud, Amana, Whiteside, MLCS, Rockler, Infinity, and Amazon. I found a set of four (1/4", 5/16", 3/8", and 1/2") for as low as $6.99 for the set. Yes, the $6.99 is correct. Imagine the quality of these bits. The reviewers of some of these cheap sets show pictures of bent shafts; don't want to go down that path. The only quality 5/16" bit I found was a Freud with a top mounted 1/2" diameter top mounted bearing; I have made this bit work but it was not my first choice because of the mismatch between cutter and bearing diameters. I have no flexibility in the 5/16" diameter as i am cutting a slot for a guide bushing with 5/16" OD and 1/4" ID. Can
someone suggest a source that i have overlooked?
