I have a small router thingie bought from Lidl (Parkside) which is

Makes a neater hole than using a holesaw. Came with two cutters - a
fairly standard looking fluted router bit and a sort of combination
drill and cutter. Both of which have 3/16th shanks. Or could be
4.71mm. ;-) I've just broken the drill thingie, and the router type
bit is getting blunt. But where to get spares? It's a collet type
chuck and doesn't look like it would accept other sizes - or at least
not unless I could get the right collet.

I do have a decent make router - but it's too big for size of hole I
want to make.


3/16" or 4.8mm or 5mmm

The original is definitely not 5mm. 4.7mm Or 0.185"


never seen 4.7mm 4.8mm or 0.1875". Occasionally 4.5mm

****ing yankee size. seem to be hens teeth here Dremel do some but not
over here

Strange given it's Lidl which is German?

the shop may be. Probably made in china for US market and dumped into
Europe.

Similar must go for their abrasive discs. Won't fit a UK 4 1/4" angle
grinder.
