Brand new to the CNC world and am waiting for the delivery of my Elite and ATC. In preparation, where do I find bits for the spindle/ATC? I want to make sure I have some on hand when my equipment arrives. Lastly, are there bits small enough to make puzzles? Right now I use my scroll saw. Thanks for the help! ---

You’re going to probably have a hard time making a puzzle due to inside corner/outside corner. Bits are bits, and the rules of no bearings still applies. Ebay, amazon, toolstoday, idc woodcraft, codys cnc engraving, bits & bits, spetool, rockler, woodcraft, and if you’re really in a pinch home depot and lowes are all places to get bits, and there is only 2 or 3 i haven’t gotten bits from at some point in my journey. Then as far as brands sold at multiple places, there’s whitside and amana (maybe more, but that’s all i can think of) ---

Thank you for this, Chris! ---

All ATC’s sold so far include 2 bits each from 3 vendors we really like. Cody’s Cadence Designs IDC Woodcraft SkyOne CNC There are indeed many bits on the market but we chose 6 different bits that will let you make a whole bunch of stuff. The only bit you’ll really need is a good surfacing bit… something from whiteside is a good starter. These ATC’s are very powerful… and our 2.2kw spindles can easily handle a SlabSlayer if you wanted to get really crazy with it… but this particular bit won’t fit into the tool-racks we currently have available. ---

Thanks, Daniel. What size bits do I need for the ATC? I have purchased the full ATC from you, just waiting on it to ship. I want to make sure I get bits that fit in the tool changer. ---

The spindle doesn’t hold the bits. The spindle grabs [Holders](https://pwncnc.com/products/iso20-tool-holder?_pos=2&_psq=holder&_ss=e&_v=1.0). Those holders sit in [Racks](https://pwncnc.com/products/tool-rack?_pos=1&_psq=racks&_ss=e&_v=1.0) when not in use. The holders use [Er20 collets](https://pwncnc.com/products/er-collets?_pos=1&_psq=er20&_ss=e&_v=1.0&variant=41428295581835). ER20 collets come in various sizes up to 1/2" shank bits. Your ATC will come with 4 holders, and 4 flush mount racks and will also come with (1) 1/2", (2) 1/4", and (1)1/8" collet. As Daniel said it will also come with a couple bits from a few different companies to get you started. ---

Daniel, I just placed my order for an ATC and my Elite Foreman tonight, I’ve been ordering some bits here and there knowing I was getting close to being able to place my orders but have not ordered a flattening bit yet… I had not seen the slab slayers before but really like the design. Which size are you thinking/suggesting for the 2.2kw setup? ---

I will receive my ATC and spindle system tomorrow (3 May). you said the ATC comes with 4 flush mount racks. Do the racks include the tall or short racks? If not, I will need to order some quickly. ---

The flush racks are flush, there are also short and tall (with magnetic options) and qcw. [https://support.pwncnc.com/kb/article/455-flush-mount/](https://support.pwncnc.com/kb/article/455-flush-mount/) ---

Chris, I received my ATC system today, but it is missing the PWM connector. I need this ASAP. Is it possible to overnight it? Mark ![image001.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex011/uploads/pwncnc/original/1X/1d9e0fbc9dee02b77e19979e95918b3f8075be66.jpeg) ---
