one.

Doesn't turn one up. But since a 1/4" shank could not have a 1/4" bearing
mounted above the bit, not sure if you couldn't just use a 1/4" straight
bit?

Pricecutter's got 'em. With bearing.

A "pattern" bit, or "template bits" have the bearing between
the cutter and the shank.

In this case I don't think it's physically possible to have
a 1/4" pattern bit unless the shank were 1/8".

A "flush trim" bit has the bearing first, then the cutter
and then the shank.

In this case I'd claw around the CMT, Freud or Whiteside
sites and see what you can scare up.

UA100, who uses his pattern bit probably the most...

Then there's the guide method, which uses your existing bit(s).

1/2" is the smallest.
same as

Or are you refering to a flush trim bit
http://www.pricecutter.com/html/cata...oup.asp/144609
of which he is asking about a patter cutting bit which has the bearing
mounted above the bit instead of below it.

Yup. I know he asked for a pattern cutting bit, but this is
probably what he wanted, or at least it'll probably do the job. I find
that most people use the names interchangeably.
