Hey everyone,
So we run an older colex router. I believe its an SX series... We use a er25 collet with a 6-5 shank diameter. The bits we get for routing aluminum and ACM are constantly chipping. Even for carbide bits I think this is a bit too frequent. All of the colex bits from their site seem to be single flutes, but we are looking at endmill bits for cleaner and more consistent cuts. Is this something we should try or do any of you have some solid suggestions for bits that will get through more than like 2 (4x8) before the bit starts fraying edges.

We mostly cut: Acrylic, ACM, Poly Carb, PVC, Styrene, and Coro.
