The Essential Bit Kit includes:
All bits have 1/4" shank.
Product Overview
Keep your go-to bits close at hand with the Essential Bit Kit, a convenient way to store and transport the three stock cutters that are included with Origin. The custom foam insert protects your cutters from incidental damage and the Shaper Micro-Systainer makes it easy to always know what to reach for during bit change operations.
Yes, all three of these bits will fit the ¼” collet that is supplied with Origin.
How deep can I cut in one pass?As a general rule of thumb for cutting wood, it’s best to never cut deeper than the diameter of the bit. So for a ⅛” bit, you should not cut deeper than ⅛” in a single pass. Because every material is different, it’s best to perform test cuts to find the ideal pass depth and cut specs when working with a new material.
What is the best spindle speed, feed rate, and plunge rate for each of these bits?This depends on the material you are cutting. You can find more information on recommended settings for Origin based on material types in this article: material recommendations.
How can I best maintain my cutters?Resin, sap, and adhesives will build up on your cutter edge over time. This generates more friction on your cutter and accelerates edge degradation. Keep your cutters clean with a small brass brush, citrus cleaner and a rag.
LOVE everything I've ordered! It's all great quality, nice and flat, great selection and perfect for laser projects. Highly recommend KJP! Please continue to carry Houston Acrylics as well- love their acrylic colours and supporting their small business as well. The pattern ply are fun and so nice too. Thanks KJP! This Canadian laser user is so happy to have found your shop.
I have ordered the craft 1/8" walnut plywood from KJP with great results, but this 'TruFlat' stuff is not real walnut. In any case, looks very different from the other laserable walnut mdf-veneered product I have from Trotec, as well as the other craft ply walnut from KJP- which is good for lasering, btw. Order a sample first. It is very flat tho, but lookswise its not what we were looking for... not going to get this again.
