the best (your favorite) carbide tips?

[watch_art]

I've used tips only from Mr. Woodchuck and I think they're really good - but I blast through the corners pretty quick seeing as how that's about all I use. My favorite tip is the SQ. Makes a nice shoulder.

What are your favorite tips and why?

Price? Quality? Color? :biggrin:

I use the Rotondo from wood-of 1-Kind on here.It uses the 18mm round tip and works much better then the square and you have more usable space. But thats just me.

Another vote for the Rotondo. The Skogger (same vendor) is my 2nd to go for tool.

Has anybody used the woodchuck and the skogger or rotundo? How do the tips compare?

I am using cutters from Global Tooling - Planer Knives, Moulder Knives, Moulder Cutter Heads, Grinding Wheels, Carbide Knives, Jointing Stones and Supplies (15mmx15mmx2.5mm 4 edge Radius for "Byrd" Cutter heads) and they seem to last just as long as any other so far. I got a 10 pack for about $27 delivered. I know there are cheaper out there but I don't think the savings is enough to switch from a known goon on my side.

Edit,
These go on my woodchuck pen pro

There are two different families of carbide tips I use. Looking at the side of the bit, those with a 45 to 55 degree angle are intended for wood and too "grabby" for acrylic. Those with a 75 to 85 degree angle are for acrylic, but tear wood.

If the top is flat both kinds can easily be sharpened with a diamond credit card style hone.
