- 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

The irony is that I've acquired all of the things you defined in this video by trial/error. Thank you for validating my purchases.
Don, keep working hard brother. You will get there!
Another good video, thanks for all the info and links. I plan to start assembling my cnc this weekend!
Thanks @JC. Let me know how your build is going
Just the video I needed
Hey Tom. Excellent. I have done one even better since. Much more educational on CNC router bits. Watch this: th-cam.com/video/wdQ-_hllmKY/w-d-xo.html
Hi Garrett. Greetings from East Africa! Thank you very much for this insightful video. I ordered for my 8-pc carbide CNC router bit set about a week ago and received it today. Very neat I must say. Thank you once again for your support.
Hi Francis. Thanks for letting me know the bits arrived! I am glad the video was helpful. Are you ready to start creating? I know...dumb question lol
Thanks great clip
007JHS, glad it was helpful!
Garrett, great video. I am doing research on CNC before I purchase and found your videos are most helpful- Thank You!
Swend, keep learning everything you can brother! Glad you enjoyed the video.
I just ordered some of the bits you suggested. Thanks for the info
Hi Bee. Super! I hope this helped your searching for tools. It is really hard to find them. what kind of projects do you have on the mind.
@@IDCWoodcraft mainly signs, flags and plaques. But once I get my CNC going, I'm sure I will explore some other things.
@@bigbee714 yeah...I find myself wanting to make many things for fun.
Make sure you share images! Can't wait to see what you make
You are an excellent teacher. Please make more videos. I watch many videos on CNC, and yours are top-notch. Thank you.
@Karl...thank you. and THANK YOU for the donation! So much appreciated.
I am always planning the next video. On the drawing board:
→ Must know for clamping materials in CNC routers
→ What does all that G-code mean in my G-code program
→ Climb vs. Conventional cutting explained
→ Several 'how to' projects
→ Important planning 'order of operations' when designing a project
Ugh! I can't make them fast enough...
Also, if there is something you think would be a good video subject, let me know.
Very helpful thank you cant wait to get started.I ordered an 800w water spindle for my machine because there supposed to be quiet.
Excellent decision. Mine is screaming loud because it is a router. I envey you.
Just ordered all the amazon link bits to get started... once I get my machine built and work with it I'll get the Bits & Bits ones!
You are getting set up brother for some amazing stuff!!!
Thank you so much sir you are realy great
Hi Nasr. You are welcome and thank you!
That was a good bit 👌
lol William. definitely a good bit!
Thanks
You're welcome, my friend. The surprise of tooling usually shocks people. The links I provided are good starter bits at good prices. Can't wait to see what you make!!!
Excellent videos and information. How about information on how to use Boolean on a cnc?
Hi Cindy. I will put that on my list. However, it may be a bit since I still have many beginner videos to do. Boolean would crash most beginners minds, lol
Great video, is it possible to use a conventional router bit with a bearing on a CNC, as an example an round over bit or a raised door panel bit.
David, I cannot recommend it brother! There are special CNC bits without the bearing designed for that job!
Great information! What's your thoughts on compression bits? Two birds one stone type of a deal?
Hi eric. Compression bits are definitely a way to go for thru cutting. I'll be doing a video on them soon.
SPE bits seem like very good quality, i have a couple, will get more
Yeah. I now sell bits as well. Decided to fix the beginners problem of find bits so I put a whole kit together
@@IDCWoodcraft That make a-lot of sense and will save a-lot of time and money for people, enjoy your videos BTW
Nothing better than someone giving you the right knowledge and tools, you can literally cut out months or years of trial and error. I recommend buying Garrett's starter kits or other bits to help you and Garrett and support these fantastic tutorials. CNC is a small audience of creative thinkers, so not a great (if any) income from millions of views on TH-cam so any purchases I'm sure will help out.
With the thinner engraving bits, especially the 1/8" and thinner should you dial down the inches per minute feed rate so as not to break the bits? The spindle can exert a lot of side force on the cutting edge of the bits. Don't want to ruin any investment on the tools if we don't need to. Thanks,
Hi Brian. You always want to get feeds and speeds for bits. Especially when they are getting very small, just for the reason you are concerned about.
I could be wrong, but I think carbide bits dissipate heat generated more effectively.
007JHS, very true brother. Carbide bits do dissipate heat really well!
I recently decided to purchase a CNC (Lugana) and it comes wirh the VCarve Pro software. I have watched several different tutorials, but your the only one that I can follow. Thanks for making it simple enough for me. I downloaded the free trial and when I follow your step by step video for beginners I don't always get the same results. Are there different revisions of this soft ware?
Dennis, I'm always happy to help! I know VCarve can be a pain to learn but stick with it and with a little practice, you'll be a pro in no time! Yes you're right, there's different versions of VCarve and I use the latest version. What differences are you having on the projects?
Congrats on the Lugana, it's an awesome machine I'm jealous man! Keep up the good work!
CNC Compression bit can used on palm router for manual work?
Absolutely. It'll leave your and lower edges clean
Beginner question. Using Aspire software. I create the sign that I want. When setting up tool paths how do I know which bit I need to use? Or is this just a learning experience?
Hi Allen. That question would lead to a very long answer. Watch this video. It will give you much guidance on this: th-cam.com/video/wdQ-_hllmKY/w-d-xo.html
hi i just bought the router bit set with the design files where do i go to get the files thanks very good videos keep it up old machinist here
Hi Ricky. They should have downloaded. Here ya' go: bit.ly/3CzGim4
Is the CNC chuck holder size adjustable? I'm planning to buy.. But afraid the size doesn't fit to my spindle chuck
Hi Husien. Chucks for CNc routers are fixed. Meaning a 1/4" chuck is for 1/4" bits. To hold a 1/8" bit in a 1/4" chuck, you either need a smaller chuck collet *interchangable with 1/4" collet) or a collet adaptor/reducer. That's why I include reducers in the beginners set I sell.
@@IDCWoodcraft thank you!
Please comment with your tips and other resources you have found
Hi Garrett Thanx you so much for the help[ful video I am just starting out (haven't even purchased my machine yet)but I am learning the soft ware an learning about the bits and things nut I am starting out with aluminum mainly just drilling and rounding off .25 in edges. any recommendations for aluminum bits
@@rolfjohansson3827 for aluminum bits, you want to use up cutting bits, not down cutting. Typically your standard end Mill router bit can handle aluminum
