Hey guys:
I have my C-Beam Machine up and running, and have done a few test cuts in plywood. All seems to be well.
My question relates to cutting bits. I have been looking around, and found several options for bits. I guess the main questions are:
1. Carbide or HSS? I have found some evidence that HSS is actually better for aluminum than carbide. Not sure why, since commercial CNC tooling is generally carbide. Also, carbide is recommended for wood and plastic. Opinions?

What cutter?
