    Sorry had a brain fart, I didn't think to copy and paste. Here is what I wrote earlier. Drillbit City has a good customer service department.

    If you are doing really fine work, I would suggest that you use endmills that are intended for cutting circuit boards. DrillBitCity is a yahoo vendor that carries them. Do not buy the burr/rasp style router bits but spend the extra cash and buy the 2 flute endmills, you will be much happier with the results. The Masonic symbol on my avatar was cut with a 1/32" 1 flute end mill. The burr/rasp style bits break too easy and raises my blood pressure.
    I am kicking around the idea of building a laser engraver but am still in the research stages.

    Thank you Clarence. I will look into that. About the laser engraver, you may be able to build a small 35 to 50 watt for under $1500. Good luck
