    which 1/8 shank bits to begin with?

    Hi All,
    My machine is almost done, just need to fabricate a holder for the dremel and some final tuning and i'll be ready to do my first cuts.
    what are the basic bits i should get for working with balsa,plywood,mdf,plastics,and maybe aluminium.
    i will mostly do parts for my RC stuff and other small projects.
    so i would like to know what shape and type of bits i need, and a good online source to get them from.

    Thanks
    Eran

    2 flute upsprials are a must have. If you plan on doing any 3d then you should get a couple of ball end mills too.
