I've been searching for a starter router bit set but am getting overwhelmed by all the selections. I would like a good starter set which would allow me to do some basic sign work. My current project needs to vcarve raised letters surrounded by a flat area and a chamfered edge. I would like a set which would work equally well in wood and plastic if possible. My machine is coming with ER11 1/8" and 1/4" collets, not sure if I should get a 1/2" collet.
The bits I thing I need are:
a few roughing end mills
a few vcarve bits 30 45 and 60 degree
and maybe some engraving bits?????
I've attached an image that I output from vcarve of my first sign (letters were cut with a 90 degree, I think I need a 45) which is the first thing I want to output.sign.jpg
All other suggestions are welcome.
