Milling bit recommendation (1 Viewer)

[DZPoker]

Hey all!

In the happy world of Amazon-with-prime-shipping-is-pretty-close-to-as-good-as-you-tend-to-get-price-wise, I was wondering if any of you who mill could recommend a specific bit from Amazon. I’d take a specific bit from another online source if you felt strongly for it...but online access is the key!

Just to be clear on the desired setup: drill press with said bit in well worn older clay chips!

While I always recommend the Magnate bit linked in the thread above (they used to sell it on Amazon but now it’s better to buy direct) as it is American made and sold, I have also bought and used the Yonico and Uxcell bits and both seem fine as well.

I think many members have gotten the Magnate brand bit and were satisfied with it.

I never found it easy to access from Canada, so I bought a Chinese-made bottom cleaning bit for my router. Most important aspect for me was the flatness of the resulting recess. You don't want a convex or concave surface if you can at all avoid it.

I purchased the Magnate 7/8” bottom-cleaning bit direct from magnate.net a few weeks ago. They were sold out of the 1/4” shank ones, so I got the 1/2” shank (similar price).
Im sure the folks at Magnate keep wondering why the 7/8” bit is such a huge seller.
