Question: where can metric router/mortiser bits be purchased? Domestic suppliers seem to be limited to English units.

I use endmills in my router. Easy enough to buy metric endmills but they will have metric shanks equal to the cutting diameter. How to grab that in a router collet I have no idea. Would any router use a ER25 collet?

CMT has them too. But, you have to look in their European catalog for the model # and then order them from a dealer. Who probably needs to be told they can do that. Or at least they could last time I checked. YMMV

Whiteside will make anything you want also. As long as you are willing to pay.

Whiteside doesn't offer metric, but they do offer plywood sizes in:

9/32
13/32
31/64
17/32
19/32
21/32
23/32
25/32

What type are you looking for? Sounds like you want metric for mortising, is that so you can use Festool dominoes?

Felder sells a set of router bits made by Fisch. You can't find them on the E-shop but they exist in the printed catalog. Go figure: They have a Metric shank, but Imperial tool dimensions. That being said, you might be able to find true Metric bits from them: https://www.fisch-tools.com/en/products/profilfr%C3%A4ser

Hope this helps.
