Customer Reviews
“I cut around 60 18mm MFC sheets last week very quickly and at 18mm each pass. I am very impressed. Still using the same bit this week to cut MDF.”
“This bit hasn’t come close to snapping after 90+ sheets of birch that I cut quickly, and the finish is superb.”
“I can now cut MDF so easily, this bit simply lasts longer, the edge quality is on another level. I think I'm at 100 odd sheets with the same bit, the finish is still great.”
“Really good value for money, lasted 3× longer than my old 6mm compression bits.”
“Surprisingly quiet, even at higher speeds, and the tool life is on another level.”
“Performance was great I cut MDF, MFC, and plywood, this bit is a beast! Honestly handles whatever you put in front of it.”
“The great finish lasted even longer than anticipated, these bits simply pay for themselves so many times over.”
“I cut lots of birch and usually go 6mm each pass, these bits can go 18mm easily, highly recommend.”
“The CNC guys were very happy with my purchase! They said the perfect finish lasted ages, so I'm a happy customer!”

1] Blunts quickly on glue-based sheet materials [Example: edge flaking, chipping-out].
2] Snaps easily, especially when cutting denser materials like birch-ply, bamboo, solid hardwoods and hardwood plywood.
3] Blunts quicker when being used to cut 18mm material in 1 pass, which can heavily strain your machine.
4] A dull edge that rubs instead of cuts — triggering that ear-piercing "eee" squeal mid-job.
5] Unusable tear-out on the face of the panel.
End It Today.
Just a few ruined sheets each month can cost over £2,000+ each year, let alone the wages you're spending on employees to sand.
This bit is designed to directly combat these 5 issues. If you relate to just one, I'm very confident this will be the last compression bit you'll ever buy.
The reason your bit is blunting faster than expected comes down to chip evacuation. Poor chip evacuation equals more heat, and heat blunts your bit.
We redesigned the flute geometry to let chips evacuate quicker, resulting in less heat-build-up and a tool that slices through tough material faster, for longer.
Cut for longer, quicker
This bit is engineered using Ultra-fine Solid Carbide which makes it far more durable, resulting in it lasting much longer.
Tooling businesses will always throw in 'Solid Carbide' to the description of the tool, and never actually specify the quality of the carbide, this is what separates us from them.
Our bit can handle 2x the feed rate you're currently running. 100 sheets per day turns to 200, 20 cabinets produced per day turns to 40.

Choosing the Right Cut Length ↓
17mm
→ For 6–12mm material
→ Ideal for thinner sheets, faster jobs and less load on the tool.
22mm
→ For 12–18mm material
→ Perfect for standard plywood, MDF and MFC.
25mm
→ For 18–20mm material
→ Slightly longer edge for deeper cuts or spoilboard skim.
32mm
→ For 18–25mm material
→ Best if you regularly cut thicker boards or stack sheets.
42mm
→ For 25mm+ material
→ For thick panels, deep profiling or heavy-duty work.
Important:
To get a clean finish on both sides, your first pass must engage the down-cut portion of the tool, usually around 2–3mm into the material.
Included With Your Order
After purchase, we’ll send you custom feed rates, RPM and pass depth based on your machine and materials — so you know exactly how to run it.
If you’re unsure which length to choose, just tell us what material and thickness you cut and we’ll point you to the right one.

The flute geometry was redesigned to evacuate chips faster. Chips clearing quickly = less heat = the edge stays sharp longer and cuts faster.
Most bits fail from heat build-up, not wear. That's what we fixed.
Combined with a higher carbide grade, you get a bit that cuts at roughly 2x the feed rate and lasts 3x longer than standard alternatives.
Completely fair question. A few things worth noting:
We've supplied over 100 workshops in the last week alone including kitchen makers, wardrobe fitters, campervan builders and not one has come back with a complaint.
We also offer a 60-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. So if it doesn't perform, you're not out of pocket.
And after you order, you get personalised feed and speed settings from us directly, and on-going nc support! we're not a "buy and goodbye" supplier.
Roughly 2x the feed rate you're currently running on a standard solid carbide bit — though the exact numbers vary by machine and material. That's why we send you personalised feed and speed settings after your order, so you're not guessing.
Not at all — and that's exactly the difference from Amazon bits too.
Most bits, whether white-labelled or sold on Amazon, use generic solid carbide without specifying the grade. We use ultra-fine solid carbide, which is a meaningful step up in hardness and edge retention.
On top of that, the flute geometry was deliberately redesigned — not just rebranded from a factory catalogue. That's what gives it the faster chip evacuation and the ability to run at higher feed rates.
Amazon bits come with no support, no setup help, and no guarantee. You get personalised feed and speed settings with every order and a 60-day money-back guarantee if it doesn't deliver.
The bit pays for itself quickly. Fewer tool changes, less sanding, fewer ruined sheets — customers are saving £100–£250+ per week in labour alone, and £2,000+ a year in wasted material.
It's not the cheapest upfront, but it lasts 3x longer than standard bits and runs at 2x the feed rate — so the cost per sheet cut is actually lower.
And if it doesn't perform, the 60-day money-back guarantee means you're not risking anything trying it.
No. The flute geometry is redesigned specifically for faster chip evacuation — chips clear before heat builds, which is what causes burning on MDF, melamine, and hardwood.
Cleaner cut, less heat, less sanding. That's the practical result.
We send you personalised feed and speed settings 30 minutes after you order, based on your specific machine and material. No guessing, no generic charts.
Chatter comes from a dull edge rubbing, But because this bit stays sharper for longer, it cuts cleanly rather than vibrates. That applies even on hobby CNCs.
On pass depth, customers are regularly hitting 18mm in a single pass without issue.
