Bits for a beginer

Post by Harleymike »

I'm just setting up my Shark and plan on just making some simple signs at first.......what type of bits should I get and where is the best place to buy.

Thanks
Mike

I'm just guessing, from your name, you will need a .250" upspiral endmill, .125" ball nose, and a 90 degree X .500" V bit. to make Harley-Davidson signs. I made this one yesterday but haven't come up with a game plan to finish this one yet.
