Roundover Bits?

IvisonGuitarsIvisonGuitars Frets: 6838
Do any or you regular guitar builders have a source for the 'correct' sized roundover bits for a vintage Tele. I have one I purchased from Screwfix, the smallest I could find (i forget the size now) but its still not a 'tight' enough curve. I ended up doing the last one by hand.

Any ideas?

    i always thought it was 3/16" for a tele whilst a strat was 1/2"
    i get mine from Trend machinery ( not cheap but good quality)

    My most used round-overs are 3/16",1/4",5/8" and 1/2"

    Many guitars have a re-sale value. Some you'll never want to sell.

    I like the Wealden bits - excellent quality, decent prices and a very wide range.

    Yes my colleague Graham swears by Wealdon. I should look at them
