Hello,
I am new to using the shotbot and I am currently working on a cribbage board design. I am wondering what type of bit would work best to drill the holes in the cribbage board? I have an initial vector drawing design that I plan to perfect a little and then bring into VCarve. Any suggestions on the type of bit to use for such small holes? Thanks in advance for any help!

If I remember right I used a 1/8" endmill. But if you need smaller holes a smaller endmill will work well.

Lots of information about cribbage boards on the Vectric forum. This one for instance:

Excellent! That helps. Now another question....i am trying to space the holes on an arc design and I am having some difficulty making the board look appealing. Can anyone offer insight on how to clean this drawing up? I drew it in Corel and created the toolpaths in vcarve.
