    There are hundreds (if not thousands) of sources for CNC tooling i.e. bits.

    a few I like:

    Just also found out that Tool Depot, down at Roscranz and Sports arena carries a variable # of Amana CNC bits.  Their stock is highly variable (whatever came in on the last couple of trucks)  But might be worth a call as they are only a couple of minutes away.

    Hi Chris,

    I just took the CNC class with you the other night and now I've bought some small bits (from precise bits.com) to try out for my first project.  The information about feed and speed rates at Precise Bits is confusing and absurdly in depth.  Here's their page:

    http://www.precisebits.com/tutorials/calibrating_feeds_n_speeds.htm

    Could you maybe give me a more practical hint about where to start?  I'll be using 1/4", 1/8", and 1/16" endmills in walnut, and I bought some extra expecting to break a few (though not planning on it).

    Thanks,  - Beston
