What are the recommended end mills for different materials. eg. MDF, Plywood, plastic, hardwood, aluminium, melamine, fibreglass, carbon fibre etc.
How about profiled mills? eg. rounded corners for a plastic case.
And for flat bottoms? eg. milling out an area inside a plastic case part or making flat bottom mortise's for hardwood or flattening the MDF table of the CNC machine.
Where to buy the above items would be very helpful too.
BTW. I would be using a Bosch Colt as my router of choice so 1/4" shank would be the max.
As a side note, what is better to use: The variable speed Colt or the fixed speed with an external speed control?
