    questions for router bits for balsa/lite ply

    hey guys, i've got my cnc router up and going and am wonder where and what types of router bits to use to cut 1/16"-1/4" balsa and up to 3/32" aircraft ply. i've heard using 2 flute upcut bits. i want to use the smallest diameter bit so i can create the smallest inside curve cut(hope that makes sense). i don't mind slowing the speed of the machine down down to get a precise cut. also, where are you getting bits from? enco? thanks a lot, toby....

    Go to Think and Tinker. Tell 'em what you're doing and they'll sell you the BEST bits in the world.

    I'm thinking carbon fiber will shear or punch better then milled.....seems that milling will create a bunch of potentially hazardous dust??
