Long AF cutters

So I’m trying to find some longer 16th cutters. I bought the two pack from carbide however they are pretty short. Are there cutters that I can buy to get through 3/4" or maybe slightly more?

I believe the Precise Bits folks have some:

Money!! thanks bro. I appreciate the quick response

Drillman1 is a legit seller. I have purchased more bits from there than I am willing to admit.

Here is a Kyocera 2 FL long reach 0.0625" up-cut bit with a 0.500" LOC.

Here is a Kyocera 3 FL bit that has an 0.950" LOC

Here is a Niagra 4 FL bit that has a 1.000" LOC.

1/16" bits are pretty fragile. So the longer they are the more fragile they are. Be sure to slow down and make shallow doc. If you are going to cut a lot of 3/4" stock them you might want to stock a few of the long bits because it is not if they will break but when.

Maybe you should try some single edge bits. I have seen tests that they cut pretty good.

This picture will not fit the Shapeoko but there is a lot more meat behind this type of bit as opposed to a spiral 1/16" bit.
