    Router bits, End mills v bits

    I have router bits straight spiral bits.

    But what do you guys use for end mills, are these for a milling machine that you cut steel with? Ball end mills ect.

    Where can I get some?

    There are lots of places to get tooling Online (enco,msc,vortec). There may even be a local tool grind shop in your area. Just depends on where your at. Google "tool grinding Canada". Or some variation and you bound to come across something.
    I get my tooling at http://pgm-tools.com/ Which happens to be down the road from us. Metal cutting tools will work fine for wood or HDU.
    Gets a little different when you cut acrylic, plastic, etc.
    I use an "O- flute" (single flute).
    Most my side cutting tools are 2 flute and 3 flute for v-carving.

    A) 1/2: up shear end mill
    B) 1/2: compression
    c) 1/2: down shear
    D) 1/8: 5 deg taper (draft)
    E) 1/2: Ball endmill
    F) 3/16: Ball mill 5 deg taper (draft)
    G) 1/2: 90 deg included angle (v-carve)
    H) 3/4: 120 deg included angle (v-carve)

    Hope this helps.
