Standard compression cutters cause chip-out over time, it's not just the bit you'll bin, the sheet goes with it too.

Keep using standard cutters and that pile of wasted sheets and blunt bits keeps growing. Add up what you've wasted on sheets this year. That's the real cost of "just a cheap bit."

Chip-Relief Geometry

Chip-Relief Geometry

The fix for chip-out comes down to the flute geometry, Chip Release Architecture Design™.

The open flute geometry clears chips fast, so they're not sitting in the cut getting recut by the edge.

No recutting means no extra friction heat. Less heat at the cutting edge means it holds sharp longer.

Details

Meet our Reinforced Compression Cutter with Chip Release Architecture Design™. Two flutes, engineered to outlast standard compression cutters. The flute geometry keeps the tool cool and stops chips re-rubbing into the wood, which is what causes burn, fur-up, and early wear on standard cutters. A reinforced shank means less flex, less snapping, longer tool life.

This compression cutter is built for CNC and router applications requiring high feed rates and clean compression cuts. It works great across wood sheet materials, giving a consistent edge on both the top and bottom of the panel.

The bit can also be used as a pocketing tool, provided the pocket is deep enough to engage both the up cut and down cut portions, which ensures a clean finish. That engagement depth is 6mm for this tool in particular.
