    Hi,
    i use mainly Kyocera solid carbide bits from Drillman1 ebay. Very very sharp and cheap too. Small stuff i profile usually with 2 flutes fishtail bits. Generally i use 3mm/ 1/8" / bits for profiling. If you are planning to use smaller, you would have to lower the Feed rate even more. He has a lot of small bits. I use only Upcut.

    For details and so i use V cutters, mainly 60 degree for general engraving. 3O degree is very sharp but you have to slow it down at least like 3 times from what i said before

    if you need smaller than 3mm bits, the best he sells are the ones mounted on 6mm or 1/4 shank.

    You need these, take note of the fishtail , not square end and how the flutes are deeper for a better chip removal. These will stay sharp longer time.




    These below would work but its primary use is towards aluminum and you have to slow it down even further. They have X times worst chip cleaning than the fishtail. Though they are quite stronger as the flutes are not so deep.
