What 1/8th inch endmill to use?

1

I’m mainly using the Amana Tool bits with no problems.

One thing I’ve run into recently though is that the 1/8th inch endmill (Amana Tool - 46225) only has 1/2 inch of cutting depth. Looking for suggestions to give at least 3/4 inch cutting depth.

Any suggestions on a bit with a 1/4 inch shaft (to avoid a collet adapter) but a longer cutting surface for the 1/8th inch endmill portion?

I second the SpeTool bits I have several now. Only broke my 1/8 compression bit because of bad connection from controller to breakout board not turning the spindle on.

I love love love my Downtown Jenny (35803-01) from Cadence Manufacturing. Awesome bit and Cody gives great support!
