If you've watched our Carving Bits 101 and Carving Bits 201 classes on Easel Live, these photos may look familiar to you. We have consolidated all the existing bit-and-material reference photos into this article.
You can also read more about bit qualities or how to set your feeds and speeds if you don't want to watch the classes.
These photos show how straight-cut, upcut, and downcut bits work on a variety of materials.
