This video is how I do spoildboard surfacing on my Onefinity X-50 Journeyman CNC with Vectric VCarve Pro software, the same concepts should work for most CNCs to include AltMill and XCarve.
I also did a quick visual on why I use the Amana Tools RC-2265 vs. the very popular Whiteside 6210. The basic idea being if you are cutting with the 6210 you have a 90 degree cutting surface basically slamming into your material. With the RC2265 the 45 degree lead in on the blades allows for a safer transition to the primary cutting surface. None of this matters a lot with MDF, but when you use your surfacing bit for say a hardwood slab, the incremental ease in of the bit makes a huge difference in reducing vibration (and possible movement) of the slab.
I am a fan of buying bits from Tools Today because of their rewards program!
