Starter Bits

Post by SwampTiger29 »

Just starting out any starter bit set recommendations or brands to buy? I know the bundle pack comes with 4 bits, but the only kits I'm finding is 500 to 1800 bucks. Thanks Swamptiger29

Start off with .125 ball nose and a .25 ball nose bit and .25 endmill and a .125 endmill. I use these for 3D work for roughing pass and finishing passes. Also a 22 deg v bit for fine lettering , 60 and 90 v bits for lettering.
