Hi Joe
The smallest bit is a ball point , like the name it comes to a sharp ball point.

You can also use a 1/8" bit but it's main job is to cut the board to size after the carving is done.
But you can use just about any bit you want in the machine 1/4" and 1/2" shank bits.

It's real hard to use you own hand writing unless you have a computer pen setup, but if you do can copy and paste it in.

You can buy them on eBay (pen setup and they use the USB port) it's just a pad that you can draw or write on.
But you need to software as well.

Thank you for the lesson though... What is your finest (smallest) bit that you would use for lettering?
