Bit Selection for a New machine build (Help picking bits for getting started)
I'm in the process of building up a new CNC router / mill table. The machine is a small table top version.
It will have a Porter cable router 1-2 HP router with a 1/4 shank. I'm going to be doing sign carving in Wood, And Plexi / PVC. I want to do some light milling in aluminum. I would also like to have a bit for cutting in foam (egg crate) style for making custom inlay tool holders.
So I'm looking for the top 10-12 bits to get started with working with these three materials.
I know that I want a v-bit for signs, some straight flutes, some engraving bits for the plastic and aluminum. I will need some bits for
leveling the wood and aluminum materials.
I would like some advice on the style of bits to get to put together a starter pack of bits that will take care of these items and get me down the road a ways. I don't want cheap bits I want some nice carbide bits that will last.
Thanks!
