    Is this the right bit for cutting wood?-imageuploadedbytapatalk1441919708-159212-jpg

    Not getting a good result at cutting. I am playing with the spindle speed and feeding speed, but just to make sure the end mill is at the right starting point.

    Thanks

    It's hard to tell from the angle of the pic, but It appears to be a much higher helix angle than typical wood router bits.

    Thanks. But the link you sent is for edging. I am doing some 3D CNC work on wood and looking for a end mill.

    I didn't send any links.

    What size bit do you need? I'd try a 2 flute downcut spiral router bit from any of the major manufacturers. Freud, Amana, Whiteside,...
