Your information for bit types, what they’re for and how to use is excellent. Thank you for putting this together!

I am new to this type of router work and found it a bit of a minefield looking at all the various types of cutters,

I see you recommend quality bits what is your opinion on the Chinese router bits.

Thanks for your article
Ged

Any advice you could offer would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

This is the best level-headed approach I have seen to date.

Thanks for putting it up

I’m wanting to get into making wooden games. I’ll probably be working with MDF or similar or perhaps a ply. I was thinking a cnc laser cutter as I would also like to have images marked on the surface. My hesitation with the laser machines is the look of the burnt edge. Do they always burn? It’s conceivable that I could paint or dark stain the edges as there will be some sort of finish applied to the pieces, usually clear or stained lacquer finish. These are not chess pieces, more tiles and flat pieces that these will be thin – mostly 4mm I think, I don’t expect anything to be deeper than 5 or 6 mm. I’m sorry to be a bother, if its easier for you to refer me to a forum then please do but some guidance would be appreciated. Thanks
