Compression
Compression router bits combine upcut and downcut flutes in a single tool, pressing material fibers inward from both faces simultaneously to produce a clean, splinter-free finish on the top and bottom of the workpiece in a single pass. This dramatically reduces sanding time and is essential for cutting veneered MDF, melamine, and laminated panels in cabinet production. Available in 1+1, 2+2, 3+3, and 4+4 flute configurations in standard and premium carbide grades, as well as left-hand and chip breaker variants.
