2 Step Hack To Eliminate Laminate Chip-Out

When using a compression cutter

Chip-Out Is Expensive

You either stand over the panel with touch-up paint, fingers crossed the client never looks close enough. Or you don't bother, and you make the painful walk to the skip with a sheet that was perfectly good thirty minutes ago.

Some chip-out is expected. Bits wear. But if you're seeing it after ten or fifteen sheets, that's not wear. That's a bit quality problem.

Personalised Feeds & Speeds

Unlike typical tooling companies, we offer personalised feeds and speeds, worked out for your machine, your material and the rigidity of your setup. This considerably extends the lifespan of your bits. Alongside that, every order gets full access to our applications team via phone & email to help with everything in between.

Getting your feeds and speeds right matters. It's the difference between an edge that holds and one that causes unusable chip-out. It's what gets the longest lifespan out of every bit.

Greater Quality Carbide

Every RouterBits compression cutter uses premium carbide, so it stays sharper for longer with fewer tool changes while producing clean chip-free cuts. Most suppliers claim "solid carbide" without specifying the grade, because most are running a weak grain and simply don't mention it.

The exact grade of carbide our full compression cutter range is designed with is called Micro-Grain Solid Carbide™ which is made from finer carbide particles, packed tighter together than standard carbide. A denser design results in an edge that stays sharp far longer.

Fantastic quality bits

Used to get 20 sheets out of a single bit before signs of blunting would show, I now get 50+, and the hands on support has been brilliant.

Last ages

I have always had issues with bits blunting quickly and causing chip-out on laminates, but these are great and last ages.

Finish quality is excellent

The edge finish is seriously clean. No breakout, no rough edges, and much quieter than the cutters I was using before.

Settings made the difference

For laminates the full range of compression bits do the job, and they do it very well, I reccomend it to anyone with chip-out issues.
