I just placed my order for the 30 x 30, I am so excited to get this. Now I need to start thinking on my table build.
Any suggestions on a good starter kit for cutting bits? Sienci is currently on back order.
Do you know what kind of projects you will be making or are you like I was and had no clue but I wanted to make all the cool stuff?
Get it out of the way now and accept that you will likely break a bit or two initially. With that in mind, I would avoid buying any expensive bits. These are the bits I frequently utilized in the beginning.
1 inch or bigger surfacing bit
1/4 up cut endmill
1/4 down cut endmill
1/8 endmill
90-degree Vbit 1/2
60-degree Vbit 1/2
1/8 collet (avoid the reducers)
For 3D projects
1/16 tapered ball nose

That’s a good list IMHO, can do a lot with those, I’d add a 1/8 and 1/4 inch ball nose because I do a lot with the moulding tool paths and rounded bottom pockets but that’s just me and after the ones you mentioned.
