Hi guys,
I need a 45 deg V bit for making mitre joints on ~18mm MDF. If possible I'd like the option of using the same bit for chamfer jobs on aluminium.
Can you recommend? Should I just get a general good quality hand router bit?
Secondly I need a round-over bit for the same materials. Probably got more use for aluminium on this one.

iv been tempted with trying these once or twice but never took the plunge... let us know how you get on if you try anything
I've got one like that. It's quite useful for rounding off things like this:Quote:

This is what I use for both wood or aluminium from Wealden tools.Quote:

This for rounding over in wood, it will do Ali but you need to go carefull with several pass's and have stiff machine other wise you'll get chatter.

For milling alloy, I get my corner rounding bits by getting a re-sharpening Co' to grind old cutters up.
I use these : http://www.lmcuttingtools.com.
My last one, a 10deg corner from a 12mm 3 flute cost me £12ish !
