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.

Love these bits

These bits are amazing. I purchased the bit to try and use it all the time. Two months after purchase I received a call from CIC workshop just to see how I liked the bits. I don’t know if I ever had that happen with another company I have purchased bits from. Even though I missed the call they left a message asking how I liked the bits and if I needed anything. Great company

Golden Girl 1/4 inch bit

Worked well on a rough-in carve on a 3d relief in walnut. Thanks again Mike

Golden Boy is Rougher Is Tougher

I had the chance to use the 1" Golden Boy Rougher and it is killer. I was able to increase my Feed, Plunge rates and pass depth to decrease the overall cut time.
It was still a little unnerving and honestly not sure if I'll continue to be that aggressive - but it worked, and worked well, I just need to get over my uncomfortableness with moving that fast LOL

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!
