Hi,
I'm afraid my carve king is still nothing more than a plotter. The main reason is I don't have any bits to put in the thing. So I see plenty of places I can order them online but curious were people buy them locally. Can't find any in the Lowes/Home Depo stores. Have not tried Ace yet since they are not as easy to stop at. I suspect I'll end up breaking a few trying to cut to fast so figured I either needed a local vendor or order them in packs of 20 =)

Not sure where you are or is there any close to you but they are limited to what they have in stock as lowes is taking over them. Other than that eBay but you have to wait and amazon can be quick. Sorry that's all I info can offer. Hope you get sorted |

At least in my location, you can find an upcut 1/4" 2 flute in the router bit section of Home Depot. It's about 20 or 25 and high speed steel, which is too much I think. You could order from us too.  Also, if you're really trying to find them local, think industrial supply. Fastenal, nut and bolt places, metal suppliers, welding suppliers, etc. Call around and I bet you can scare some up. |

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Mainly looking for a local supplier for when I break all I have and don't want to wait for fedex =) |
