A real Freud bit is hardly cheap. Don't get the Diablo Freud with the real Freud.

Oh I was thinking those green ones but yeah those or a Freud, a kitchen spoon would probably be better than those bits it came with.

Lol, I did order a collet kit so I can run different bit sizes, more so for the motor upgrade I'll be doing.

Locally end mills are pretty expensive, I might get a couple off of bangers to try and see if they are any good haha.

Do you have any recommendations?
I actually bought most of my end mills on ebay.  Primarily from user drillman1.
I've had good luck with this for cutting/milling aluminum: https://www.ebay.com/itm/3-32-0938-CARBI...1525962541
Note:  I do fairly small work using an adjustable speed Makita router.  Using a spindle with different speed range and the workpiece itself will dictate the best bit to use - do your research.
A good source for information is Openbuilds.com.  The forum there has lots of helpful folks.
(OpenBuilds has also started carrying their own bits as well.  I haven't used them yet, but my next bit purchase will probably be from them.)
