Chinese tooling

[Boyan Silyavski]

Hi Boyan, Are you still using Kyocera Bits, Could you update the shop adress please ?

Sorry, missed that and just saw it today. https://www.ebay.com/str/carbideplus

Now i use some chinese bits as they are not so bad as they used to be. For example Chinese 6mm 2 and 3 flute carbide bits are as good as any.

But the 3mm bits, no one make sharp bits like the Kyocera ones. Especially the 1 flute ones. I use them to cut Dibond and aluminum. The finish is impeccable, without further need to clean the cut

PS. And i find that i much use the pyramid 60 degree V cutter from China. I engrave even steel with it with a perfect result. 90 degrees i use only CMT insert nowadays.
generally i use inserts where possible, longest life , cheapest bit, once you have the booty.
