I'm looking for straight router bits either out of carbide or hss preferable carbide  to do inlay with I'm looking for 1/4, 1/8, 3/32,1/64, I want to buy this as cheap as possible.

Not speaking from any experience but at that small a diameter might a drill bit work?

Duck have you tried StewMac?http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Inlay,_pearl/Tools_and_supplies_for:_Inlay,_pearl_cutting/Carbide_Downcut_Inlay_Router_Bits.html

They have them with 1/8" diameter shanks and have adapter for 1/4" routers. They are intended for use in a dremel or similar and I use them to rout out cavities for pearl inlay.

Not cheap though

 

Other alternatives are if you are friendly with a local dentist they may be throwing out used dental bits.

I'd look for bits made for rotary cutters (Dremmel type) as router might limit you to bigger sizes. I cannot say what you'll find, just thought to recommend it.

Go look at micromark fishtail bits. I bought a set for my grandson they work fine and are inexpensive.

problem with the rottery cutters is that they have blades that are close together so the saw dust backs in and over heats the metal so it get dull faster.  tiny router bits only have two blades on them so it cuts and clear the dust out so the metal does not heat up.

this is the best price i have found so far anyone know of any better?
