Thread: carving and engraving bits

I created my first wood inlay yesterday using 60 degree V bitws and it came out amazing (so I thought) but the resolution can be improved by using narrower cutters.
Can anyone recommend decent carving bits for use on wood? I've looked at 20 degrees and 30-degree bits and as usual, there are so many options and suppliers out there.
Thanks.

I mean you've kinda already got the answer to your question right there in your post.... :)
But, I recently did my first inlay too (see the last page of my build thread for a picture) and was getting some lovely 0.5mm wide lines. I used a carbide 30 degree V bit 1/8th inch shank 0.1mm tip from shop-apt. Couldn't be happier with this supplier, was recommended them on here, but they're probably not the cheapest.
