Tooling
When purchasing cutters, keep the following advice from Louis in mind:
- Fewer flutes are better for the speed of the machine
- Carbide cutters will last longer and keep their edge
- 3mm shank is the default collet that we have
- The longer the tool, the thicker you need the shank. ER11 used in the machine has a maximum shank size of 7mm but we don't have any collets other than 3mm
- The following seller is recommended - http://stores.ebay.co.uk/cncpoorboytoolstore/Cutters-Carbide-/_i.html?_fsub=1167155014
