Bits to use

Hey all, I would like to know what everyone is using for bits. I plan on doing signs and fine detail work. My machine comes in this week and I want to stock up on all the essentials before I get started. I’m new to cnc but have done signs for years by hand routing. Thanks ahead for any help you can send my way.

Plan on getting yourself a few tapered ball nose bits. Very good for detail work and small fonts

I will be nice, but you gotta use the search function.

Get a few 1/8 and 1/4 down cut with a cutting length based on your plans. I suggest 1".

Some vbits 90 degree 1/2" 60 degree 1/4"

If you plan on plastic or metal or 3d you will need additional
