CNC Wood Router Lollipop Bits
I need to do some slight undercutting with my CNC router on wood. Is it practical to use and milling bit to perform this task or are there better choices. Example is UNDERCUTTING END MILLS - 300° by Harvey. What have others used and if the Harvey style bit is a good choice, how do I figure appropriate feeds and speeds using a metal cutting end mill as a wood bit?
Re: CNC Wood Router Lollipop Bits
The best tool to use depends on the specific application.
As a general rule, you can get away with feeds and speeds for a similar size woodworking tool.

I was looking into this as well. I use free F360, and to get this feature, I need to but a machining extension, the cost of which I can not justify (though it also adds other functionality, but none else I really need).
I am not sure if any Vectric software can do it.

TMTronto and Ger21, thanks for the suggestions I'll look into that.

Vectric software does not support any undercut tools.
