Hi all,

Im working on a CNC machine 3axe cutting normally wood. one of my customer ask me if it'll be possible to cut "small names" (the one that goes on a neckless)
and i wonder if itll be possible to find such a small bit. (max 1 mm). anyone ever did this kind of job here?

Also ill take adventage and ask for reccomandations for good and also chip website i can get my bits and drill.

Thanks alot

Yes, you can find small bits . But that's not going to turn your wood router into a precision mill. While the larger bits used for wood are tolerant of a little runout, the tiny ones used for metal, where the runout of your spindle is a much greater percentage of their diameter, will snap. Holding onto the stock is another problem; small pieces of sheet metal are hard to hold down, and tend to rise up and break cutters, which are quite expensive in small sizes: FRAISA eShop - Fräswerkzeuge

If I had to do this job with a wood router, I'd cut the parts out in wax, which is more forgiving of errors, and send them off for casting.
