Afternoon all,

I have had come into my possession hundreds of router bits from the woodworking industry. They are all single flute cutters and are mostly marked "Interwood SHS".

They are mostly clapped out from a woodworking aspect and there are many different shank sizes ranging from .250"-.500" dia.

The cutting blades range from .062"-750" in dia. and the cutting lengths go up to 1.5".

Now I could possibly modify a vast number into acceptable boring bits or something else, suggestions would be very welcome, but before I do, I need to establish what grade of steel SHS is and whether it would be suitable for boring or other activities on the lathe.

I would appreciate some comments please.

P.S. I did adapt one several months ago and it did work very well as a bowl turning gouge on my woodturning lathe.

Len. P.

Grizzly,

I have several routers but as I said earlier most of the router cutters are clapped and I have numerous carbide faced cutters for proper woodwork.

I am contemplating building a woodworkers workshop in the garden where I can get stuck into my windsor chaimaking again, as it is at the moment woodworking is out because engineering takes priority. I can't even get to my carpenters bench through lack of space.
