Part of the “Gold Digger Family”, the Golden Girl is the ultimate Downcut CNC bit for speed, designed to cut fast, cut deep, and stay sharp. The Downcut design of this roughing bit is perfect for pocketing out material and leaving a clean top edge! The gold ZrN coating increases the bit’s hardness and heat resistance, extending its lifespan and ensuring it powers through tough materials with ease.

Perfect for roughing and pocketing, leaving a clean edge for minimal cleanup! The Golden Girl saves time, money, and protects your finishing bits, making it a must-have if you already have the Golden Boy or Golden Boy XL.

Worth every penny!

I recently purchased the Golden Girl. Having other great bits, I figured, let's see if this girl lives up to all the hype. Well, it did not disappoint! I did a job, normally done with another 1/4 roughing bit, about 8 minutes faster. I pushed the IPM faster than my other bit and this girl did not even cry. I'm sold on these bits now and highly recommend for roughing! I ran it with the recommended settings for a hobbyist CNC...I think I can push it just a little harder next time. If it breaks, I know to back it off next time, everything has a limit. But honestly, this bit will save me a ton of time in the long run!

Used the 1/4” down cut golden girl to replace my 3/8” compression bit on plywood. Have vacuum table for hold down and keeps plywood tight to spoil board. Fantastic results and great cutting speed!

Golden Girl Rougher

Bought this bit and tried it last night. Ran very smooth through some hard maple. Only complaint is I ran my machine too conservative because of issues I have had roughing before with other bits. I can’t wait to try it a little less conservative and see what it can do on my machine

Great rougher!

I recently got my golden boy and have nothing but great things to say. It eats through material without screaming and cuts way down on project time before switching to a finisher
