Nice one Mark. I have a keyhole bit that is worth having but other than that and 1/8 up and Down cutters you covered pretty much everything I have in my tool kit. You can make a lot of projects with a few basic cutters. Cheers Peter

Thank you Peter. I totally forgot the 1/8 inch up and down cut bits for smaller holes and pockets. I absolutely agree that they should be on the list.

Mark, thank you very much for sharing your experience with the worldwide maker community. Being new to CNC/milling, this us exactly what I needed. Best regards Jean-Marc from France.

I think I learned more with this video than I have in the last few months I have doing it by myself. Great video.

You just saved me a whole bunch of money Mark. Thank You !

Thank You much Mr. Lindsay , i am new to cnc's , just got my machine assembled. your recommendations and tips are sure going to be part of my toolset , Thank you once again.

Thank you for an extremely thorough discussion. I was looking for information on router bits, and got the best information I've found yet!

Bravo for you sir!!!👏 It takes a great heart to let complete strangers learn on your own mistakes - and to give them so useful and smart advices! So unselfish, so honest and kind! Thank you sir!!!

Hello Mark from Greece , thanks to help with your experience .When a Man shares the experience and wisdom he has hardly acquired, helping other People who he does not know without personal benefit here in Greece we call it ΑΡΕΤΗ... VIRTUE...

Thanks Mark, very well explained and very helpful to me as I am new to the cnc world. Just waiting to get mine delivered within the next 2 or 3 weeks and I will be watching more of your videos. Thanks again.

Just starting out in the world of cnc machining your videos are packed full of value good knowledge on this stuff cheers

Perfect video! NOT long winded because I was taking notes! Thanks!!

Thanks you for the common sense approach for new beginners like me. I was looking for some explication on bits and you broke it down so I was able to understand. I made myself a chart with the links you provide to show what each bit look like and their name.Thanks again.

Thank goodness for Mark Lindsay!

Mark, thank you for putting so much effort into this. I'm just starting my cnc journey and i know it's going to be an invaluable resource that I'll reference regularly.

Thanks Mark... As a total beginner... not even finished assembling my router kit yet... so immensely useful.

Thanks for this video Mark! A real help - you’re a true gent.

I am into Acrylic. I just wanted to say nice clear teaching video, WTG!

Another excellent video Mark, thank you. I've been binge watching your videos.....thank you so much for sharing your knowledge......

Hi, Mark thanks for sharing your knowledge. It is always helpful for viewers that want to try new tooling on projects or are new on woodworking. I've been working on CNCs for about 36 years or so and I'm still learning on how to use tools properly. When surfacing the spoiled board we use 5" diameter fly cutter, and to avoid getting in trouble we plunge outside the spoiled board for safety. I watched one of your videos you have using the Vcarve software and I learn a lot from it. Thank you very much and keep sharing your experience.

Thank you very much! Watching this was very informative and I got the opportunity to confirm, I was already headed in the right direction with my choices when it comes to the essential bits & mills.

Hi Mark. I've heard numerous 'trusted' YTubers recommend your channel. I subscribed before I watched the first video. I really appreciate the time that you have invested and will make decisions based on your advice. Today sir, you have made a difference. Thank you 😊

Thank you for your advice and experience. I don’t own the X-carve yet, so this video is helping a lot.

Such a good video i enjoyed it very much and it answered so many questions. You have a very natural way of instructing and explaining. I ordered a cnc router and my biggest concern was choosing the right bits for my first projects. I will watch it again and take notes. thank you. Dennis

You truly are one of the most helpful people out there for CNC beginners. Whenever I've had a CNC related question, you have been my go to without fail. Thank you so much for spending time to make these videos for the beginners like me. I love your live Q&A's on Sundays too, awesome stuff!

Useful information. Like you many years working with timber. I've had a laser cutter / etcher for a while and just added a 3 axis CNC. My first project will be a v carved sign with an inlay. Your info has been most helpful.

Thanks Mark, I'm about to finish my Queen Bee Pro 1515 CNC here in Brazil, was confused on which bits to buy on Aliexpress. Your video clared it all, really appreciate all the information.

5 years! You sound like you have 25 years in cnc. So much knowledge.

I've been at this for about 8 years now, working on it full time. This is what I mean when I say that if I can do this, anybody can. Eight years ago, I couldn't even spell CNC. Now I've built/assembled 4 of them, and rarely have any problems that aren't of my own making. If you're willing to put in the time and effort it takes to learn your machine and software, you will be running circles around me in short order.

@@MarkLindsayCNC ha! I’m not sure about that. I think building a CNC or two would be a great learning experience. I just ordered my first CNC a cpl of days ago - a OneFinity Journeyman. Wanting to start a small side business, primarily locally. But have learned a lot from you and really impressed with your teaching style and knowledge. Told my wife the other day how amazing it is to have people on KZread, people like you, willing to teach others what they know … FOR FREE. It’s truly remarkable. And I thank you.

@MarkLindsayCNC

Жыл бұрын

My whole point in everything I do on KZread is to try to show folks that you CAN do this. There is nothing magic or secret about it. It takes time and effort - just like anything else. All I can do is break a topic down to the basics and try to present it in such a way that someone who has never done this before can (hopefully) understand it. I'm not always successful, but I give it my best. If you take nothing else from any of my videos, please at least take that - you CAN do it if you're willing to give it an honest effort.

Thank you very much mark, all the videos that you have uploaded are helping me a lot to start without having to go through several headaches. Greetings from Argentina

Informative, interesting and well presented. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks from Orlando

Thank you! Before you spend a penny on any bits or tools, find out what size collet(s) your machine's spindle/router comes with, and buy ONLY the bits/tools that will fit that collet size or sizes.

Mark is giving good advice .If you cannot figure the Chip load on the bit with your CNC (size of spindle and speed of your CNC.) Then listen to Mark he right. Small home CNC are fine but you never will be able to figure proper chip load the bit was designed for. It all about figuring Chip load for proper depth, RPM, IPM to get the most out of your bit.

Excellent information!
