Hi, you have been already answered but since you said 'home-made CNC
router' you may find both Bungard and LPKF (or megauk) not easy and
expensive to deal with. My suggestion is
http://www.lamar-uk.co.uk/

I got there all my pcb laminates at any thick, any size i want with
excellent packaging and really good prices for product and shipment. And
best of all they are great to deal with. They also have any other pcb
consumable, including German made carbide drill/mill/vshape bits. But i
don't know the prices since i buy all my the bits on eBay. And seriously
is the best option for a homebrew.

I guess you don't even know exactly what you want. You can have straight
mill bits down to 0.2mm or you can buy V shape carbide engraving bits,
in 10, 15, 20, 30, 45, 60, 90ยบ degrees. I suggest ebay Item
number:270402083435 is where i bought mines. Not a specialised store but
is tungsten carbide anyway and they are really sharp and i don't have
any problems in customs. Of course there is same goods from Europe on
many stores. You should search yourself.

I am not affiliated with any of this stores/business just where i buy my
things.
