So, looks like I'm going to need some cutting bits in the near future, and as my previous machine used PCB type endmills, its time to get serious.
Can people recommend a starter collection for playing around in wood? So far I'm thinking:
10mm or 1/2" long straight two flute router bit for hogging material.
90 Degree V-groove bit
60 Degree V-groove bit
Ball Nose Endmill - Around 5 or 6mm?
Compression Bit - Around 5/6mm?
Can anyone flesh out details on that list I should be thinking about.
Anything else that I should consider essential?
What materials should I go for? Is Carbide too much?
Where should I go? Any bay of fleas / Aliexpress recommendations? Any decent UK suppliers?
