hi all,

my new cnc machine arrived this week and i'm just setting it up. i will mainly be cutting MDF.

can anyone recommend the best router bit to buy.

what is the best i can buy? doesnt really matter about cost. i just want the best.

any ideas?

thanks
zac

Circular saw blades, router bits, tools for router, diamond woodworking cutting tools - CMT

For cutting MDF a mid range router bit would suffice and top quality is an overkill for just cutting MDF.

It really depends on your machine and the specific application. Onsrud's 48-700 series are carbide tipped straight bits made specifically for MDF. If you have a machine capable of high cutting speeds, a compression spiral is probably a better choice.
