As a layperson I would like to ask – is there a specific reason the bits are so pretty or is it purely for esthetic enjoyment?

Damn this is prolly my first time seeing an actual diamond cutter

How many flutes do you recommend for the endmill in acrylic?

[SpaghettiBreaker]

I look at it and realize back then before technology you had to be strong to be able to do anything fun and mechanical and now you just gotta be smart enough to push a button kinda crazy looking at it

[DaleRides]

Where can I get the hinges? What kind are they?
