Hi all, Getting into the wonderful and in-depth world of cnc routing. As well as learning fusion 360 I’m interested in the bits I can and should use for my projects. Are there any recommended bits I can use in Europe , preferably with electronic tool file for fusion 360? will be working with woo…

Good beginner sets can also be ordered from AliExpress. I’m in France and had no issues getting these Tritop bits at ~15€ for a set of 5. As noted by others, the fine bits are fragile and will break from user error (yup - can confirm!) so go with cheaper ones to start until you’ve trained yourself o…

Thank you so much guys , I’ll take into account what you have said and crack on breaking some bits :slight_smile:

Another good tip I saw before in the forum. And one I’m applying as well: get you some cheap sets with different sizes & types. You’ll learn soon enough that you’ll only use certain sizes and have some favorite bits rather soon. As those wear out/break etc: replace just those with new higher qu…

For wood, I use the set of dremel bits I have: Bitset They work well for soft wood (spruce), ply, and MDF. The larger ones also do a decent job clearing bigger areas.

While you can make dremel bits work they’re not really optimized for cnc work. And you’re not really saving any money on them. One thing I forgot to say was that the bigger the bit the more it’s worth spending money on them. You’ll use them for tougher stuff and they’ll stay sharp longer and have…

You’re right - they are not that cheap. But if you already have them at home, they are worth a try. The bits I use are (linked above) are the dremel router bits (double flutes) - not to be confused with the high speed ones. In my experience, they produce a cleaner surface than the ones shipped with…

Great tip , thanks buddie , I’m guessing that will be a 6mm bit for clearing and a smaller bit or two for detail,

Nice one Martin , will take a look thanks:)

[s-IMG_20210522_111436] ER11 collets can be purchased on AliExpress. Various sizes are available, but the following points should be noted. As the shank diameter increases, the peripheral speed becomes faster. The machining cutting resistance becomes larger. The cylindricity (runout) of the col…

[image] Blockmodule: The cylindricity (runout) of the collet is not very accurate because it is made by AliExpress. Aliexpress just sells from a bunch of different vendors. So depending on who the seller is it could be from any number of suppliers. The set I got off ebay has runout equal to o…
