3d carving bits

[Ccrewz]

As a newbie I need to purchase some cutting tools however I do not want to end up with lots of tools in the "I wish I hadn't bought that one" category. Is there anyone on the forum who can advise on where to purchase and what cutters a beginner might need? I know that that might seem like a "how long is a piece of string" question however if one assumes that a newbie will want to do some cutting, engraving and 3D work in a variety of materials ranging from MDF to Hard woods to Aluminium etc. then surely an experienced CNC users can recommend a "basic starter" set of cutting tools and perhaps a UK supplier?
Thanks

Hi, I use Faithfull router bits for cutting plastics, I get them local to me. Here's a link to a supplier. They are cheap, well made and come in a quality plastic box.
