    I just want to flatten maybe 400x400mm and try to tram the spindle.
    Will try to get better material than ply for my "real" spoilboard :)

    I bought a 12.7mm 2 flute trend straight router cutter for wood and found it has a far better finish than the 2 flute carbide endmills I bought from China. The 2 flute carbide endmills leave an excellent finish with aluminium.

    I used 18mm MDF which in the UK is the same price as ply but machines better and is flatter but you loose the ability to mist with oil for aluminium cutting.

    If you didn't buy it from China the company you bought it from did ;)

    I think mdf is cheaper here, depending on the quality of the ply. Marine ply and birchply is insanely expensive :)

    The ply Im using is scraps from my shed, to get me started!
    When I feel somewhat secure, safe and possibly tipsy I will bring out the oak :D

    Want to find a local supplier of varieties of endmills. The only thing the stores here sell are for handrouters. Oftentimes with bearings :(

    A nice singleflute for acrylic would be nice.
    Aswell as some downcuts for soft wood!
