Dan,

I have a new shopbot buddy and purchased several bits from them with the order.

When I'm ordering from Onsrud which bits should I be looking for if I plan to work primarily in HDU? Are the bits under the "foam" catagory referring to HDU?

Also while I'm asking newbie questions, is there a guide that shows which bit is used for which cut or application. I am really just used to hand carving out everything.

Thanks,
Lynn
