Compression spiral bits are designed for CNC applications requiring high feed rates and a clean finish. These router bits are great for production settings and excellent for creating grooves and dado cuts in softwood, hardwoods, plywood and composite materials. Primarily used on CNC machines and other automatic routers.

The Chipbreaker CNC router bit is a hybrid of the rougher and finisher bit. It can cut like a rougher, but leave a smooth finish on your projects. If you do not have an Auto Tool Changer I recommend this bit when cutting plywood or thicker materials. This bit is a great bit to use when you need a faster cut than normal and you still need a clean finish.

This video explains a good basic set of CNC router bits beginners need to start with for a CNC router. This includes down bits, endmills, carving bits. You will also learn where to get everything you need. All links for the CNC router bits are below. Below is a link to a complete starter set of cnc router bits that are set up for the beginner. It also includes free files.

A good starter set of CNC router bits should be made of carbide steel. Cheap ‘practice’ bits are okay for just that. Consider them throw-away bits. they do not last long at all.

Once you get a basic understanding, then comes the search on Amazon and boy, is that frustrating. Don’t worry, the entire list of what you need is below and all links are provided for you to save that hassle (you’ll thank me later)

Without this basic set of router bits and tools, you will not be able to effectively run your CNC router. So, what are the best (and necessary) router bits and tools you will need for your new CNC router?

As much as you may not think you’ll need calipers, you’ll be glad you got them. Otherwise, you’ll unexpectedly cut into your spoilboard (and that’s not fun)

The video discusses this and a list is below so you don’t have to search for it.

You will need the items listed below to get started with your CNC router. Below are links to all the things I mentioned in the video including router bits and other tools you will need
