Why Use a Compression Router Bit?
Unlike basic upcut or downcut bits, a compression-style router bit pulls the top and bottom material layers toward the center during cutting. This action prevents chipping on both faces of laminated or veneered panels, making it ideal for finish-quality cuts in cabinetry and signage.
Ideal for CNC & Manual Applications
This bit performs exceptionally well in both CNC and handheld routers. It’s especially effective when working with:
-
Laminated plywood
-
MDF and particle board
-
Melamine panels
-
Veneered hardwoods
Its design helps eliminate tear-out, which reduces finishing time and material waste — ideal for shop owners, woodworkers, and cabinetmakers.
