If you’ve experienced long carve times with your 1/8” bits, or even had them break because they cannot handle the workload, then get ready for this wicked little bit called the “BADGER”
The BADGER has been called “The little bit with a BIG BITE” by our fellow creators who tested it. For a 1/8” CNC router bit, no other 1/8” bit can match its aggressiveness and blazing speed for removing material from your CNC router project.
With a 1/8 shank and 1/8” cut diameter, the BADGER falls into the roughing bit category. The BADGER is not designed to deliver clean cuts. Its sole purpose is speed, and it excels at it!
Featuring a staggering 1/4" depth of cut per pass, 80ipm plunge rate, 70% step-over, and a whopping 130 inches per minute cut rate, the BADGER is undisputed when it comes to rapid material removal from your CNC router woodworking projects.
Comparing to other 1/8” endmills, the BADGER can remove material 10X faster than standard 1/8” endmills

Getting a roughing bit like the BADGER is not just about time savings. It is also about saving your other 1/8” bits for the finishing touch-up AND prolonging the life of them.
By using the BADGER as your workhorse for major material removal, you'll extend the lifespan of your regular CNC router bits. Let them handle the finishing touches while the BADGER handles the heavy lifting when a lot of material needs to be removed in fine details…like Aztec calendars.

BEST ROUGHING BIT IN A SMALL PACKAGE
Arrived on time. Have not had an opportunity to use them yet, but am looking forward to it.
I do a fair amount of hardwood cutting with both the Beast and the Badger on my Shapeoko 5 with spindle. These bits fully unlock the potential of the machine - even though I still don't cut at 100% of the recommended feeds and speeds (mostly due to noise), they reduce my cutting times by something like 80% and the finish they leave is quite acceptable. Your CNC template to bandsaw to flush trimming with a router workflow can become simply CNC cutting the piece out with the Beast or the Badger and then moving on.
The Badger speeds up them small areas you want to clean out fast for your finishing bits,
Great little bit. Improved my carve time on everything I used it on.
