What Bits Do you Use Most?

[bquicksilver]

I'm surprised I couldn't find the answer, but what bits see the most use for everyone? Basicly I'm trying to purchase a few more bits and wnat to know what I need on hand.

For example:

70% 1/16 carving
20% 1/8 cutting
10% 60deg V

Thanks!

It depends of course on what you do. For my lake maps it is mostly the 1/16" carving and some 60 and 90 degree v bits for lettering. For my clocks it is mostly the 1/8" cutting and sometimes 3/16" cutting, with some use of the 1/16" and 3/16" carving bits.

I'm guessing you are going to get a wide variety of answers on this question of most used. Until a couple of weeks ago I was:

60% Carving - 80% 1/16, 20% 3/16
30% V carving 60/60 mixed
10% Cutting - 80% 1/8, 20% 3/16 - 3/8 - 1/2

Now:

25% Carving - see above
25% V carve - "
50% Cutting - 10% 1/8, 90% 3/16 - 3/8 - 1/2

If it's for the purpose of having extra bits on hand just in case ,,, well I would suggest the 1/8th cutting since I hear of this bit snapping more then any other..
