I need a recommendation on a set of endmills for the new MPCNC / Dewalt 660 owner. I’m planning on starting with a few acrylic and wood engraving projects. I’d like to order a few together to save on shipping.
I think I ordered 2 of each to start. Dont get sucked into large expensive bits or sets unless you know you need them. I ordered a Whiteside surfacing bit thinking I had to surface my spoil board and have never taken it out of the package.
I mostly use 1/8, 1/16, 1/32 end mills and 1/2" 90 degree v bits. I really dont use ball nose end mills but I mostly cut small signs and cuttingboard inlays.
I would recomend 2 of each bit that makes sense for you to have if you can afford it.
That surfacing bit will come in handy after your spoil board has a few dozen dimples from screwing stuff down to it. I used a sharp wood chisel at first before I remembered I had the surfacing bit. Only need to take half a mm off, so you can go fairly quick.
