    If you have a Rock chuck, you can order bits that are coated and last for ever that cost less than 1/2, ie. I just order 1/8 in ballnose, 3/16 ball nose , and 3/16 cutting bits for $57.00 including shipping. All 4 flute .

    My wife who is a long time ebay seller says that anyone can get the same online discount that she receives as long as they register at the USPS.com website. For instance the standard price for shipping a 13 ounce priority package is $5.25 if you print out the postage online your cost is $4.97 The USPS also offers a priority flat rate box that should easily hold six to eight bits for $5.35 or for $5.15 if you print your postage online that doesn't have a weight restriction as long as it fits in the box, this is with free delivery confirmation, although insurance is extra. ($1.85 for up to a $50 value). However, there are other agencies online that provide insurance cheaper that can be used with USPS delivery services. The Post Office also provides free priority mail boxes that can be ordered online in bulk and delivered free to you. You can print out the postage on your computer at work either on a label or a piece of paper and tape it on and the Post Office will pickup the packages at the office free of charge thereby reducing your overhead cost of providing boxes, transportation and time constraint costs to deliver the packages to the post office. Another option is to send it as a 1st Class package since it would be over 1/4 thick which would be cheaper than priority, but you have to provide your own packaging. The USPS website does a comparision of all their available rates for the size of the package.

    Wow. That's a lot of bits. I assume that you have already used these bits and if so, would you share some part numbers? I am mainly concerned with the 1/16 & 3/16 carving bits. There is just so many and I really get lost fast in there. It also appears that you are using rons 3/16 sleeve adapter? Just want to verify everything. Great find!

    185-4187, 185-2125, 180-4187 are the part# of the bits I got, none of the bits on this site are tapered. this site has those

    and yes you need a 3/16 sleeve to use 3/15 ballnose and squarenose bits

    Can you still use them to carve then even if they are not tapered?

    The only bit that is tapered is the 1/16 carving bit, the 1/8 , 3/16 carving bits are straight ballnose , and the 1/16 , 1/8 , and 3/16 cutting bits are square endmills.
