To set the tone. I became interested in CNC a year ago when i started flying rc planes. Since then i managed to get a laser cutter at work and that was not enough. I need soothing at home lol. I was unable to find 17k so i went this route. I convinced my wife that it would only take 800$ to build this machine.so far im in 1200$ haha. I purchased a cut kit from joe himself and im purchasing the hobbycnc pro BOB and 3 steppers at 300oz. Soon as the kit arrives ill post pics and progress. I hope to have many comments to keep me from spending to much more. I would like to stay married
.. To be honest im not sure i can pull this off. I have no choice now haha.

I never asked how long shipping takes. I fugure 3 weeks from other post. I feel like its christmass night.
Well at least if you get divorced you will still have the machine
As for end mills I normally cut MDF, plywood, cutting board plastic and foam core (sign material) with upcut bits from Whiteside tools.

Those vortex bits are a little pricey but give them a shot and see how they work.

MLCS woodworking has solid carbide spiral upcut bits for a lot less. I've used them quite a bit and they work well.
If you are "trying" stuff, why don't you spend 1/2 as much and buy twice as many
