The compression bit is unique in that it has an up cut and down cut component built into the one bit. This allows for a fine finish on both the top and bottom of your cutting material.

If an upcut gives you a great bottom finish and a down cut a great top finish, why not have both with a compression cutter! A compression cutter starts with an up cut component usually the length of the diameter (e.g. ⅛” has a ⅛” up cut component and the rest to down cut) so get the full benefit of the cutter, your first plunge must go below that length (e.g. ⅛” or more). Compression cutters like to run a bit faster than other wood cutting bit to get the best finish along the side of your material.

Suitable for

  • Wood (MDF, hardwood)
  • Wood (Ply & softwoods)
  • Melamine White Board

Adam’s Tips

Albeit compression bits are primarily used for slot cutting, you can still profile cut as long as you go past the up cut component. This will give you both a perfect bottom and top finish.

    Up down 2 flute spiral cutters

    I use a high quality Birch plywood from Finland. It’s imperative that I achieve a crisp finish on both surfaces and also the core of the material enabling minimal sanding! These cutters are fantastic! Well worth the money.
