Is this 3" blade practical, or would it flex or maybe even snap?

I wouldn't use the full length of that cutter on one pass. That's a lot of work for such a little diameter. My flush cut blade is 1/3 the length and twice the diameter and it still gets overloaded sometimes. You can find a cheaper blade at a safer size.

Check out #5504. I have #5503. If you need an extended length I'd jump to a 1/2" shank

What application is the cutter for Jimmy or was it just a theoretical question?
I wouldn't really want to use such a cutter unless I really needed to and there are only a couple of times when you would need to. I can imagine that the cutter would most likely push off and you would struggle to maintain a good finish, especially if you were cutting over a long length.
If you do need a 1/4" bit I can recommend the Faithfull bits from
http://www.toolsuppliesuk.com/
They do a 1/2" length cutter here > [
Router Bit T- Carbide Mini Trim 6.3mm x 12.7mm 1/4in Shank
] for £3.17
They also do a 1" length cutter here > [
Router Bit T- Carbide Mini Trim 6.3mm x 25.4mm 1/4in Shank
] for £3.85

It is made to trim laminate or other materials on your work piece. It is not strong enough to make a pattern cut so it would only be useful in very applications where you are trimming laminate or plexi where a regular flush trim bit would not work.

I didnt need one, I was just wondering what you might use one for and was it even safe to use.
