I decided to make a new thread after realizing hiw far off topic i was getting on my tiling thread. Ill be asking all my questions here. Ill starr with a repeat question.

Can you tell me what are the most useful bits for guitar work? I see these variety packs for $27. I don't have high confidence in those.

Ive bwen thinking about electric necks which are too long for my 6050. I was wondering about cutting those diagonally. Would that be a problem?

I would check out PreciseBits as they have a section dedicated to luthiery - https://www.precisebits.com/application ... rtools.htm

I use the bits from them for most things but I also use these for fret slots which have worked well - https://www.ebay.com/itm/384573895741?m ... media=COPY

I think you’re still trying to decide on a machine to buy. Something to keep in mind - cheaper machines with poor quality spindles, collets, etc… means more runout in the system. Tiny bits and runout don’t mix. :)
