Does anyone have recommendations for buying engraving bits for lettering mostly.
I tried with my normal router 90 deg Vee bit, and I was not really happy with the result.
What is a good angle(s) to have? Any really good quality suppliers?

C.M.T. Utensili - V Groove bits
These are the only ones I use and I have many clients and friends that use (swear by) them.
I’ve recommend Amana - I use some of their products myself - V Groove and have heard back that the results were good.
What is a good angle(s) to have?
I’ve done lettering with 45 and 60 degree V bits.

Thanks for the help. But permit me to focus my question a bit more in detail.
I see that there are 3 styles suggested, but I will rule out the diamond tip because it’s not the one appropriate for hard woods. So what the difference between these to styles? Just the angle?
Differences:
- shank size
- number of flutes
- flute shape
All of these points are discussed on the endmills page.
Okay Will, I know they look different but what is each type used for is what I’m getting. What works best for certain jobs.
The Upper photo would be for wider/deeper V-Groove cuts and chamfers with higher material removal. (Router V-Groove & Chamfer jobs)
The lower is an engraver it makes engrave-cuts usually used for 0.05"-0.020" engravings.
