    Default Help with tooling

    I have been cutting mainly acrylic and PVC but I would like to start cutting some plywood and doing some Lithophane work but need some end mills. Could you all recommend some and where to buy them?
    I mostly use the Onsrud now.

    Thanks
    Will

    Centurion tools is a good place for cabinet bits as well as good acrylic tools.
    The variety isn't as large as Onsrud but neither is the price.
    They make a 5mm compression just for cabinets done without a bit change. As far as I know it is a unique bit generally available in US.
    For 3-d work I like tapered ball noses for the smaller sizes (1/8 and down.) So much stronger than straight ball nose they last a lot longer.
    One company I use is Burchett and Gary Beckwith also has good ones. All will come up with quick google.
