Re: Alternatives to Onsrud CNC router bits

We have found that 2 flute end mills are more cost effective than single flutes. For roughly 2/3 the price you get an endmill that will do great and last at least as long. The key is keeping your cuts clean and lubricated.

We really like these:

0.1875, 2 flute and $17.56

However most of our machining is done with 0.250 end mills: https://www.mcmaster.com/#8926a321/=15xkiim

0.250, 2 flute and $21.46

For really tight radiuses we use these: https://www.mcmaster.com/#8926a181/=15xkkh1

0.125, 2 flute and $14.17
