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.

Yep, I will definitely try those, got some on ebay. I will try to use
them with the Bosch router, I am getting ready to make the mounting
adaptor plate.
