just a tally of how many companies?

I am looking for dollars spent on "bits" annually.  How big is the $
per year.  Market size in $'s.  Not systems, bits, sets are not a
concern either.  This has to do more with production of door hinge cut
out production and the consumption of the hinge mortising router bit.
Not interested in companies that make the bits, rather what is the $
size to determine if it is a viable market to persue with product
innovation.
