Hey guys so I finally bought my first cnc machine, (*the new xcarve) Can’t wait for it to ship! Anyways in order to afford it I had to remove quite a bit of things, one of those being the bits that where selected in the xcarve build.Anyways, I am a Canadian so online shopping is never very friendly to me. Wondering if any Canadians out there have an Xcarve and where you get your bits? Is there a good canadian supplier out there or where is the best place to go?
Most of my work I think will be carbon fiber,mdf and acrylic engraving, what are good bits to use? I am new to all of this, have done some good research but when it comes to all these terms they confuse me, v bits, flutes and all these other terms are chinese to me.
I really wish there was some listing of companies (here in the U.S. — Canada is fortunate to have the Wagemark Foundation referenced in the article) which adhere to such ideals — I’d gladly put a lot of effort into patronizing them by preference.
