Bit question

[Joe Butler]

I built myself a CopyCarve designed by Ed Walicki. It isn't as nice probably as store bought. About the only time I use it is at Christmas. We have six kids and I carve them all the same thing at Christmas. I'm going to be redesigning the method of holding the material in the machine this summer.

But I'm wondering what type and where you get your bits. Any advice would be appreciated :).

If you are looking for the tapered ball nose bits you can try Precise Bits. I can highly recommend them.

I have bought bits from these sources but I can usually find what I need, and at a better price, on Amazon.com
