I am getting closer to having a high speed spindle (Bosch 1617EVS
router). I have to make an adaptor plate, and I am almost done with
coding.

Anyway, as far as using it goes, I want to engrave text, like on
panels and such. What sort of end mill would you recommend. Thanks


The ones I've seen have been second-cousin to a D-bit. Look like a
scratch awl tip stoned in half. Guy Lautard had some tips on how to
make one along with engraving pantograph drawings, see The Machinist's
Bedside Reader series.

Maybe the diagram here would be useful
