I’m venturing into the world of 3D carving and wanted to know what main bits are most recommended. Is there a complete set of high quality bits I can purchase in one shot or would they most likely have to be purchased separately?
Last but not least, should I also invest in the Makita router over the Dewalt?
Makita is the way to go, cutting tools/bits depends on what you want to spend.
Amana has good set or you can check out spetool I believe amazom carries then cheaper spetool web site
There is a new one out for tapered ball nose called the skinney jenney that getting a lot of traffic on the FB groups that I will get eventually. . I have a mixture of Ammana and Amazon bits.
