Cnc milling tooling
Hi i'v recently converted my mill to cnc, I'm finding it hard to find the correct cutters for it. It is only a bench mill and the motor is 2,500rpm.
Can anyone recommend tooling got cutting stablised wood and hard wood? At the moment I'm using 4 flute cutters really made for metal.
Any help would be appreciated

2- or 3-flute carbide are the standard for cutting timber, but your biggest problem is motor speed. Wood routers should normally run at about 24,000 rpm for 12mm endmills and 18-20,000 rpm for 20mm endmills. At 2,500 rpm you'll have to have very low feed rates and your tooling must be razor sharp or it won't cut properly.
