Default Is a 1/16 dremel router bit made?

Don't get locked into "router bit" or "Dremel". Just find a straight
bit with the diameter you want and don't worry about whether it's
called a "router bit" or whether it's "Dremel" brand.

In the Dremel line there are several "engraving" bits that do fine for
routing down to about 1/32".

Practice with it to get the right feed rate before you do anything
that _has_ to be right.
