the machine only came with a single 6mm collet so im limited to 6mm shank tools at the moment. ive ordered some more collets from the us which im waiting to arrive, once I get them I can start using more tools.

that engraving one done with a v-bit router tool, but only 0.3mm deep. were I to have the right collet I would have done it 1mm deep with a 1mm end mill

im pretty new to wood, so still learning what gives the best results. ive since painted that engraving so its looks much better now

That would give you near pin-sharp corner definition on characters and graphics where they merge and the cutter diameter cannot manage sharp corners,
