    I did think of one place, carb-i-tool in moorabbin, they've made some specials for friends in the past.

    Carb-i-tools would be the only ones in Australia that do quality production runs of Router bits, they're not cheap though.
    I was looking at a one off 1/4" router bit, from memory $185, or there abouts.
    Unless you're able to find a retired toolmaker working from home. If you find one let me know, PLEASE.

I'm using it to remove a flexible sealant from a V groove in timber. The first groove I cut was 3mm x 3mm with a straight router bit. This groove acts as a guide for the (less robust) V groove router bit that follows. The V groove router bits are cutting 95% flexible sealant and 5% timber.
    now I really am curious.
    what was the flexible sealant for and why are you attempting to remove it, rather than just cut it out with a straight cutter?
