CNC Tooling Basics — Mills Bits for Cutting Wood Parts ...
May 13, 2017· If the part is thicker, like a to 2" chair leg, for example, I use a .500" downcutting mill. They''re longer and more stable when cutting. For general purpose needs, some soft wood cutting and fast material removal in preparation for 3D carving, I use .250", .375" and .500" up cutting mills.
