CNC Tooling, Mills and Bits: Carbide End Mills, Stone Router Bits, ACM V-Groove Bits, Surfacing Cutters, Collets and Tool Holders
This page started as the toolings.co.za "CNC Tooling, Mills & Bits" landing page (first published February 2022, last changed April 2023). That page had a slogan ("Strong. Accurate. Fast. Cost Effective."), one paragraph on solid tungsten-carbide router bits, a "more toolings coming" note, a playlist, reviews and a short FAQ. It did not list the actual tooling families, their sizes or what each one is for. This deepened version is a buyer's guide to the whole AM.CO.ZA tooling range: carbide end mills for wood, plastics and soft metals, stone router bits for marble and granite, V-groove bits for folding aluminium composite (ACM) panels, the spoilboard surfacing cutter, and the collets and tool holders that hold them. The original page is kept at the bottom.
Facts come from the AM.CO.ZA product data behind buythis.co.za (product names in the Buythis dump and product JSON on am.im; dump dated up to 2026-10-20) and from AM.CO.ZA YouTube videos, each named where it is used. Prices change, so this page quotes none: check each linked Buythis page or the Buythis toolings category. Stock is not shown here. For a deeper look at router bit types, see the sister page Router Bits.
Quick answer
- The range is large. The Buythis dump lists 254 carbide end-mill SKUs in six families, 41 stone router bit SKUs, 5 ACM folding bits, two V-engraving and surfacing items, and 20 collet, nut, spanner and tool-holder SKUs.
- The carbide bits are solid YG10-grade tungsten carbide, precision-ground to a tolerance under ±0.05 mm, individually packed and sold in packs of 2 to 30. AM.CO.ZA's range video explains that "Tungsten carbide is an extremely hard chemical compound made of equal parts of tungsten and carbon atoms" (Explore Our CNC Router Tool Bit Range (2026-09-14)).
- Pick by job. Upcut spirals (
ES) clear chips for clean pockets and profiles in wood and plastics; straight-cut bits (EG) suit boards such as melamine and veneers; ball-nose bits (EB2) do 3D carving; stone bits (CF,FFand the rest) cut marble and granite with water; ACM bits groove panels so they fold. - Match the shank to your collet. A 6 mm shank needs a 6 mm collet in the right ER size for your spindle. The collet sets and holders are listed below.
- The SKU code tells you the size. For example, TL-ES1-S6T22/20 means upcut single flute, 6 mm shank, 22 mm cutting length, pack of 20.
How to read a tooling SKU
Carbide end mills use the pattern TL-<family>-S<shank>[B<diameter>]T<cutting length>[/<pack>], checked against every product name in the dump:
Sis the shank diameter in mm.S3can mean 3 mm or 3.175 mm (1/8 inch); the product name gives the exact size.Bis the cutting diameter when it is smaller than the shank, written without the decimal point:B08is 0.8 mm,B12is 1.2 mm,B15is 1.5 mm,B2is 2 mm,B25is 2.5 mm. With noB, the cutting diameter equals the shank.Tis the cutting (flute) length in mm.- The number after
/is the pack size. Some larger bits leave it out; the product name then gives the count.
Example: TL-ES1-S3B08T2/30 is a 0.8 mm upcut single-flute bit on a 3 mm shank with 2 mm cutting length, 38 mm overall, pack of 30.
Stone bits use TL-<family>-S<diameter>T<grit length>-<full length>, with a trailing S for a cooling slot. In TL-CF-S10T12-60S, CF is a coarse-grit flat end for marble, 10 mm diameter, 12 mm grit section, at least 60 mm long, with a cooling slot. Tapered stone bits add the ball-tip size, as in TL-CT-S6B3-20 (6 mm tapered body, 3 mm ball tip, 20 mm grit section).
Carbide end mills for wood, plastics and soft metals
All six families share the same product-data highlights: "Precision Machined Router Bits by Solid YG10 Grade High Density Tungsten Carbide Rod, Tolerance Under ±0.05mm", individually packed.

What each family is for, from the product data and videos:
ES1upcut single flute. The single flute gives a large chip space, so it clears chips and stays cool. The product data says the fine 0.8 mm size suits "acrylic, Perspex, ABS and HDPE" as well as MDF and hardwood. A good first choice for acrylic signage and general profiling.ES2upcut double flute. Two flutes give a smoother wall finish at a higher feed. The 6 mm pack (TL-ES2-S6T22/20) lists hardwood, plastic, aluminium and brass.ES3upcut three flute. More cutting edges for a fine finish and faster feeds in harder material. AM.CO.ZA's range video uses "spiral three flute design and a flat endmill for precision cutting and smooth finishes" and says the bits are "built to withstand tough materials such as plastics, soft metals, and wood" (Explore Our CNC Router Tool Bit Range (2026-09-14)). The 12 mm size (TL-ES3-S12T32/4) is for wood, plastics and suitable non-ferrous materials.EG1straight-cut single flute. Straight flutes neither pull up nor push down, so both faces stay clean on laminated boards. The product data lists hardwood, plywood, melamine chipboard and veneers, and gives a starting recipe for the 1.5 mm size (TL-EG1-S3B15T8/30): "Recommended operation is a 3–6 mm stepdown, 18,000–20,000 RPM and a 3–5 m/min feed rate".EG2straight-cut double flute. The product data says this design "supports faster feed rates than single-flute bits while producing a clean finish on both the top and bottom surfaces" (TL-EG2-S3B15T5/30).EB2ball nose, double flute. The round tip leaves a curved floor, for 3D carving, reliefs, moulds and rounded grooves (TL-EB2-S10T32/4).
A worked example from AM.CO.ZA's inlay project (Explore Our CNC Router Tool Bit Range (2026-09-14)): "we start off with a 2mm bit and 4mm depth cuts to create an inlay for lettering"; then "let's use a 4mm bit with a depth of 4 mm to create some pockets with a single pass"; then "3 mm at a depth of 6 mm on a double pass"; and finally "2 mm with cutting depth of 17 mm to create the male inlay of the letters". The male letters slot straight into the female pocket. The same project is shown in Explore Our CNC Router Tool Bit Range (2026-09-14).

Stone router bits for marble and granite
Most stone bits cut with an abrasive grit section (coarse, medium or fine) rather than sharp flutes; the TV V-carving bits are solid tungsten carbide. The product names give a minimum spindle speed of 24,000 RPM and a feed rate for each family. Coarse-grit marble bits run at 0.8 m/min; fine-grit granite bits, medium-grit marble bits and the V-carving bits run at 0.5 m/min. Run them with water: in AM.CO.ZA's Arabic-language stone demo the narrator points out the water flow and says it keeps the machine at its best and stops the material overheating (Stone Cutter Router Bits From Toolings.co.za! (2026-10-07); teaser Stone Cutter Router Bits From Toolings.co.za! (2026-10-07)).
Choosing a stone bit:
- Flat end (
CF,MF,FF) for pockets, level floors, outlines and lettering. In the stone demo a 14 mm flat bit cuts a 5 mm deep pocket and then lines from 2 mm to 20 mm deep, and a 4 mm flat bit cuts the logo and text (Stone Cutter Router Bits From Toolings.co.za! (2026-10-07)). - Ball nose and tapered ball nose (
CB,CT,FB,FT) for curves, reliefs and 3D shapes. Tapered bits reach deeper with a fine tip; TL-CT-S12B4-100 has a 100 mm grit section and at least 150 mm overall length. - V-profile for engraving and lettering: TL-CV-S8T22-90 (coarse, 90°, 22 mm) for marble, and the solid-carbide TL-TV-S6A4-70 and TL-TV-S6A4-90 with a 0.4 mm tip. The product data says the 90° version suits granite, marble, stone and glass.
- Marble or granite? Granite is harder, so the granite families are fine grit at the lower feed. Coarse grit removes marble faster.
AM.CO.ZA's stone router demo (32mm Granite Cutting by EasyRoute CNC Stone Router 12mm Tooling 11mm Step Down 800mm/m Feedrate (2023-04-02)) cuts 32 mm granite with 12 mm tooling at an 11 mm step-down and 800 mm/min, and notes that different tips are used for different stone types such as granite, marble and quartz.
ACM folding bits (V-groove for aluminium composite panels)
These bits cut a V-shaped channel through the back aluminium skin and into the plastic core, leaving the outer skin intact so the panel folds by hand into a clean corner. The product data names Alucobond and Dibond panels and lists all of them as solid YG10 carbide.
- TL-ACM90-S6B10T2/20: 90°, 10 mm, 2 mm flat tip, 6 mm shank, pack of 20.
- TL-ACM90-S6B16T3/20: 90°, 16 mm, 3 mm flat tip, 6 mm shank, pack of 20, for 90° corners.
- TL-ACM135-S6B16T2/20 and TL-ACM135-S12B16T2: 135°, 16 mm, 2 mm flat tip on a 6 mm or 12 mm shank. The product data says the 135° groove lets the panel fold "neatly by hand up to approximately 45°".
In AM.CO.ZA's ACM box video the presenter folds a box using a cheap 90° bit to show it can be done, while noting the flat-tipped ACM bit is the right tool and that the ideal angle "this should actually be a 91 degree". His two key tips: "What we want to make sure is that our table is flat. That is the absolute key", and "sometimes you need to go in a little bit deeper than you anticipate because the aluminum side of things is a little bit harder to get into" (ACM DiBond Cutting on EasyRoute CNC Router and Fold as Box with 90 Degrees V-Bit (2026-03-05)).
V-engraving bit, surfacing cutter and inserts
- TL-V30-4-04-45: 30° V-groove engraving bit, solid carbide, 4 mm shank, 0.4 mm tip, 45 mm long, pack of 10. For fine lettering and line work.
- TL-FLY/127/45/66/1212: spoilboard surfacing cutter (flycutter) with a 45 mm cutting diameter, a 1/4-inch shank and 66 mm height, using 2+2 replaceable 12 × 12 mm inserts. Replacement inserts are TL-INSERT/1212 (12 × 12 × 2.2 mm, 35°, grade DC06, pack of 10).
The surfacing cutter's own video (Levelling Spoilboard by Skimming Spoilboard Surface by Flycutter Leveller with Router Bit (2025-08-19)) says "We've got four cutters on this particular guy", that "we can actually rotate each one of these router bits four times", and that after the job the presenter checks the tool by hand because "I want to feel if we have any heat within our cutter as well as our collet"; his advice is "rather start off slow".

When the sacrificial board is worn, AM.CO.ZA's tip is "try not to go too far or too deep into your waistboard"; their board lasted about 130 full sheets (Remove Spoilboard on EasyRoute CNC Router at 6mm (Was 16mm MDF) After 130 Full-Size Boards Cutting (2025-09-15)).
Collets, nuts, spanners and tool holders
A router bit is only as accurate as the collet holding it. Match the collet system (ER11, ER20, ER25 or ER32) to your spindle or tool holder, and the collet size to the bit shank.
Collet sets
- R-ER11/SET: ER11 set with 3 mm, 4 mm and 6 mm collets.
- R-ER20/SET, R-ER25/SET and R-ER32/SET: seven-piece sets with 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 mm plus 1/2 inch.
- R-ER25/66: six ER25 collets for 6 mm shanks, for shops that mostly run 6 mm bits.
- R-ER32: ER32 start-up set of eight collets in random sizes for ATC routers.
Collet nuts and spanners
- Dynamically balanced collet nuts: R-ER11/NUT, R-ER20/NUT, R-ER25/NUT, R-ER32/NUT.
- Rubber-handled collet nut spanners: R-ER25UM and R-ER32UM.
ATC tool holders (automatic tool change)
- R-ISO30F: ISO30 ER32 holder with wrench flats (model IS30-ER32-45). The product data calls it the default holder for EasyRoute ATC routers; a spanner is needed.
- R-ISO30: ISO30 ER32 holder in 20CrMnTi alloy steel, full-round non-keyway design, balanced to 25,000 RPM. Tighten it in R-ISO30B, the auto-locking stand made only for non-keyway holders.
- R-ISO30E: wall-mounted ball-locking tightening device for ISO30 holders.
- R-BT30: BT30 holder for ER32 collets, non-slotted.
- R-BT30X and R-BT30X/S: BT30X ER32 holders slotted for the ATC finger, without or with the pull stud.
- R-BT30/S: solid pull stud (retention knob) for BT30 and ISO30 holders.
Setup and care tips
- Use the right collet and keep it clean. A worn or dirty collet causes runout, poor finish and broken small bits. Replace collets and nuts as a set when they wear.
- Start slow, then speed up. Begin at the product data's recommended settings where given (for example the
EG1recipe above, or 24,000 RPM and 0.5 or 0.8 m/min for stone bits) and check the bit and collet for heat after the first job. - Step down in passes. The inlay project cuts deeper pockets in a double pass; the stone demo works down in stages.
- Keep the bed flat. A level spoilboard matters for V-groove and engraving depth; skim it with the surfacing cutter when needed.
- Use water on stone and dust extraction on wood and plastics.
Data notes
- Some descriptions give an overall length that differs from the product name and highlights (for example TL-ES1-S6T22/20 and TL-ES2-S6T22/20 say 48 mm in the description but 50 mm in the name, and TL-EB2-S10T32/4 says 60 mm in the description but 70 mm in the highlights). This page uses the product name.
- TL-EB2-S6T22/20 is a ball-nose end mill for wood and similar materials, but its description mentions stone, marble and granite. For stone, use the grit stone families.
- TL-ACM135-S6B16T2/20's description talks about general V-grooves in wood, MDF and acrylic rather than ACM folding; the name and highlights describe an ACM folding bit.
- The original page says toolings.co.za is an "Accurate Machinery (Pty) Ltd" project with a warehouse in Jet Park, Boksburg. AM.CO.ZA is operated by Advanced Machinery (Pty) Ltd, and recent AM.CO.ZA videos name showrooms in Sunny Rock (Johannesburg) and Montague Gardens (Cape Town). Treat the original page's address line as historical.
FAQ
What are the bits made of? Solid YG10-grade tungsten carbide, ground to under ±0.05 mm. Most stone bits use a coarse, medium or fine grit section instead.
Upcut or straight cut? Upcut spirals lift chips out and suit pockets, plastics and solid wood. Straight-cut bits leave both faces of laminated boards such as melamine and veneers cleaner.
Which bit for acrylic? An upcut single-flute (ES1) bit; the product data lists acrylic, Perspex, ABS and HDPE.
Which bit for 3D carving? A ball-nose bit (EB2 for wood and plastics, CB, CT, FB or FT for stone).
Can I cut stone with ordinary end mills? No. Use the grit stone families with water, at 24,000 RPM or more and the stated feed.
Which holder does an EasyRoute ATC router use? The product data names R-ISO30F (ISO30 ER32 with wrench flats) as the default.
Where can I read more about router bit types? See Router Bits in this catalog and toolings.co.za.

The service that I got from Ronald Ncube was beyond excellent. He helped me set up the software, printer driver and he showed me how to cut my first piece. I recommend Mr. Ncube and AM as a company. Thank you.
