I know this is a bit of a strange tool I am asking about. I have a old metal lathe modified to run under CNC controls and I often cut wood on it. What I am looking for is a 1/4" drive wood cutting router bit that has a Acme tooth profile on it to run on a live die grinder mounted to the tool post. My lathe spindle is servo controlled so I can use it as a indexer. I would like to come in from the side like a lathe tool but route in the thread profile with the high speed die grinder spindle. I have not been able to find a tool like this. In either metal or wood cutting geometry. What I have been thinking to do is grind my own bit by starting with a 2 flute, spade style, carbide router bit. If I dont have to make one and can buy one (for a reasonable price) I would prefer to but I have not been able to find one.
If anyone has any leads or suggestions I would appreciate them.
Thanks!
