Can Genmitsu bits be used with Shapeoko 5 Pro

Can I use Genmitsu bits with the VFD?

So long as they fit the collets you have, sure.

I have no experience with that manufacturer.

Thanks. I was about to purchase the Genmitsu 4x4 but found the Shapeoko.

Router bits are router bits. I have many 3rd party bits and some I just tell CC the 3rd party bit is one of the C3D bits. For others I just make a custom tool. The main thing about any router bit is to use it for its intended purpose. Things like the O flute is best in plastic and acrylic. Larger bits are good for flattening projects but you have to use proper feeds and speeds. Who makes a bit is not important but how you use it is important.
