We get asked "what bits should I get started with?" a lot. Here's a starter pack that comes with a set of basic bits to get you started on your CNCing journey! Each pack comes with: 1/4″ Spiral Up Cut End Mill 1/4″ Spiral Down Cut End Mill 3x 1/8″ Flat End Mill 3x 1/8″ Ballnose End Mill 1/4″ to 1/8″ Collet Adapter

This 22mm Surfacing Bit is designed to surface and flatten large pieces of material and wasteboards. This item contains one bit per package.

This 1/8" flat end mill for aluminum is specially designed for cutting aluminum. These are also excellent bits to use for materials that have a lower melting point such as plastic and foam, as their higher angle and single flute design helps carry larger chips away from the cut to prevent melting. This item contains two end mills per package. A 1/4" to 1/8" collet adapter is recommended if you have a router which uses a 1/4" collet.

This 1/4" single flute end mills is designed for cutting materials that are prone to melting such as plastic, foam, and aluminum. Single flute end mills work great with plastic, foam, and aluminum as it produces larger/thicker chips that carry heat away from the cut more effectively than multi-flute bits and prevent rubbing. This item contains one end mill per package.
