Part of the "Gold Digger Family" of bits, the Golden Boy is the ultimate upcut CNC bit for speed, designed to cut fast, cut deep, and stay sharp. The upcut allows for chip ejection quickly! The ZrN gold coating increases the bit’s hardness and heat resistance, extending its lifespan and ensuring it powers through tough materials with ease. Perfect for roughing out large projects, Golden Boy saves time and protects your finishing bits, making it a must-have in your CNC toolkit. This bit will pay for itself time and time again! Perfect to pair with the Golden Boy XL or the Golden Girl

Awesome rougher!

Love my golden boy rougher, it eats away at material and cuts down on my machine time

Aggressive worker

This tool is extremely aggressive. For my 1st experience it was too aggressive and hard on my Shapeoko Pro. Dust collection was hard to keep up with. Also, running at full speed caused the bit to drop out of zero several times. This tool will be great once I make all of the necessary adjustments.
