Wow that 1/16" cutting bit is expensive !!

[TurtleCove]

I just ordered a 1/16" cutting bit from Carvewright. Not cheap.

Anyone know if the cutter, in eBay auction 130876407128 would work in our machines?
I'd only be taking very small cuts .1" deep per pass, in cast acrylic.

I have been using the 1/16th tapered bits from drillman for the last year. They are 4 flute updraft and carve very well. That being said, you must load them in the chuck adapter correctly to avoid any errors.

Is there a web site for drillman?

I bought from drillman on ebay, as I'm in Canada. Fast and reasonable priced shipping

That is where I get my 1/16" carving and the 1/8" cutting bit, drillman. Less than $2 shipping, and about $10 lower in cost. Works great in the rock, and 4 flute I feel gives a better cut.

Gang, 1/16 cutting...not carving.
Read my original post.
I'm looking for a cutting bit, not a carving bit.

What chuck are you using?

Are you talking about a 1/16" dia. end mill, want 2 flute or 4 flute, and end cutting (being able to plunge)? I have a few some where in my machinist tool

That bit will work if you can hold it. It has four flutes which I would not like to use on acrylic. Two flutes work better on acrylic. Chip clearance it a concern. The ones I use are more like:
