I got a Foredom for Christmas!

Botta bing!

I want to use it for metals and wood. What are some good sources of burrs
and other supplies that will last and won't break the bank? I have one of
those 175 piece kits that costs $18 at HF, and figured I would learn on
those.

costco has a bunch of gigantic packages, there where 150 pieaces in one set,
300 in another box...

how can you decide?

The first thing you'll learn is NOT to buy those cheap bits.G
Go to a good industrial supplier, grit your teeth and buy some good
quality carbides and abrasive disks. After the sticker shock wears off,
look in a mirror and note the smile on your face when you use them.
