Where to buy bits?

[Jacobsonr]

Hello
Where is a good place to order bits from? My students have crashed and broken two bits. I looking for quality inexpensive bits.

Suggestions for cutting 3/4 pine, oak and ash?

Thanks

only two bits that's not doing bad.
http://www.centuriontools.com/index....05519234587759 for cost effective bits. I use 1/4" or larger downcut bits for solid woods.

Quality & inexpensive are almost always mutually exclusive, as you know.

Thanks guys, that's great. Only 2 so far and two big gouges in the table of my new showboat desktop :0(

I know the 4x8 machines are bit different, does anyone have suggestions on a false top for desktop model.

If it's solid carbide they would tell you! HSS won't last hardly at all in a cnc cutting wood.
Unfortunately,all the cheap bits give poor results.
Centurian is reasonable.
Could you post a picture of your showboat? Lot's of boat builders on the forum.

Solid carbide end mills are the cheapest & highest quality option. Shop around or get to know your local tooling distributor.

Amazon will sell yu bits at reasonable prices and ship them for free. The trick is to shop at a couple of sites BEFORE ou go to Amazon. The Amazon site looks at your cookies and prices their stuff according to what shopping you have done.
