Optional Parts / Our Tips

This machine is highly configurable and we have a range of kits to fast track you with projects.

The first 10-20 hours of drill bits will be silky smooth milling. The next tens of hours will leave small burrs which will require light sanding to remove. We recommend using Scotch Bright 7447 or fine sandpaper to remove rough edges/burrs (avoid breathing the dust, wear a suitable mask).

For PCB use, we recommend using a 1/32" and 1/64" Flat End Mill (the 1/64" is very useful for detailed PCB milling). The 1/32" is included with the kit, so you just need these parts:
