    Default Newbie question on bits

    I am new to the CNC world and doing lots of testing with trial and errors.

    I purchase a few bits with better luck on others.

    I like to cut flat bottom lettering and noticed some bits are far from flat. Using a 1/8" bit in a dewalt 611 at a medium speed I had best results so far on a amanda 46260 1/8 bit.
    Using wood such as hard maple or walnut. I noticed that by amanda website this 46260 is not designed for wood.

    With that said I like to get some bits for cutting flat bottom letters and lines to get the smoothest cut possible.

    Any recommendations on bits to use, or not use.

    Thanks

    Try an Amana 46240, 46340, 46127, 46227.

    Thank You Gerry,

    I just placed a amazon order for it. Looking at some at my fonts I cut all about 1.5 to 2" tall the 46260 was very smooth bottoms. But the enpoint 2 flute I got online after I had a issue and broke the 46260 was very fuzzy and bumpy.

    Been a larger learning process on this DIY build out. Thanks for the assistance.
