## Optional Parts / Our Tips

This machine is highly [configurable](https://core-electronics.com.au/tools/pcb-milling.html) and we have a range of [kits](https://core-electronics.com.au/tools/pcb-milling.html#category_1063) 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](https://core-electronics.com.au/3m-7447-mar-scotch-brite-150mm-x-230mm.html) 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:

- [Single-sided PCB (25 Pack)](https://core-electronics.com.au/single-sided-printed-circuit-board-blanks-25-pack.html)
- [Precision 1/64" Flat End Mill](https://core-electronics.com.au/precision-1-64-2-flute-flat-end-mill.html)
 
For general CNC use. we recommend:

- [Bantam Tools Makerspace in a Box Materials Bundle](https://core-electronics.com.au/makerspace-in-a-box-materials-bundle.html)
- [Bantam Tools The Works Bit Bundle](https://core-electronics.com.au/the-works-bit-bundle.html)
 
These kits are available to explore different project ideas:
