Hi Nick,
I use these "V" engraving bits...they work great for timber,acrylic and aluminium, very clean finish.
They have a range of small diameter End mills and Ball also.
Have had no problems with service...roughly 3 week delivery,
There are also other suppliers on ebay.

I have been using the Carbi-Tool ones you find at hardware shops, I know they can be a bit pricey but they work well and I get good mileage from them.
Also dropping them on concrete and/or crashing your machine into the table with the spindle off will snap them like a twig...wish I hadn't found that out the hard way.
