I have a small router thingie bought from Lidl (Parkside) which is great
for cutting small holes out of ply etc using the supplied guide. Makes a
neater hole than using a holesaw. Came with two cutters - a fairly
standard looking fluted router bit and a sort of combination drill and
cutter. Both of which have 3/16th shanks. Or could be 4.71mm. ;-) I've
just broken the drill thingie, and the router type bit is getting blunt.
But where to get spares? It's a collet type chuck and doesn't look like it
would accept other sizes - or at least not unless I could get the right
collet.
I do have a decent make router - but it's too big for size of hole I want
to make.

No - I'd call those rotary files. There are two bits that came with it -
one is a conventional router bit, the other a strange looking almost twist

Have you got vernier calipers to check the exact OD? you probably have
less than 0.2mm tolerance on a collet chuck of that diameter.

Yup - that's the one. Just why Lidl used such an obscure standard gawd
knows. But at least the bits are available - although at much higher cost
than 1/4 or 1/2" shank sizes.

These bits tend to be best run at very high speed with steady feed as
found on CNC routers.
The bits are long lasting but expensive and intolerant of problems-
being made of solid tungsten carbide.
Depending the work and the user a single flute straight cutter might
work out better value for DIY use? These give adequate top and bottom
finish with a carbide blade supported by a tough steel shank.

I've found the best combination of quality and price with next day
delivery for modest charge is Wealden http://www.wealdentool.com/
No commercial connection/satisfied long term customer etc etc
However I doubt that they will have your 3/16 shank cutters. I guess the
trick for those will be to stock up when ever aldidls are running offers
on the routers as they usually will have additional tooling offered at
the same time.
Wealden will make/obtain specials but I expect at a price and "How many
thousand would sir like?" and even then possible based on standard shank
diameters.
Also don't even think about using metalwork milling cutters, whilst they
have the up cut spiral, the clearance angles are all wrong and they burn
up very quickly in wood DAMHIKT!

the bit enters an existing edge of the material not for plunge cutting.
The waste is pushed downwards and blind hole cutting will end in tears
with cutters becoming FUBAR very quickly.
If you need a high finish on one face then best to work from the back
and use an up-spiral cutter.

I don't understand why you think your 'Big' router won't manage a small hole. With the appropriate jig, easily home made, they will make any size hole. If you dont fancy making your own jig then these people, http://www.microfence.com/ make the Rolls Royce version, at a Rolls Royce price. They are very accurate. Can be set to 0.001" with complete confidence and repeatabiiity.

appealed because of the ability to make holes down to about 100mm
