Maker Modus 3/8" Compression CNC Router Bit 10-Pack, 2 Flute Solid Carbide, 3/8" Shank, 1-1/4" Cut

A compression bit cuts in two directions at once. The short up-cut section at the tip pulls chips up and keeps the bottom face of the sheet clean. The down-cut flutes above it push the top face down. Together they leave clean edges on both faces of plywood and other sheet goods.

This 10-pack has ten Maker Modus 3/8" compression bits in the factory carton. That works out to about $60 per bit, compared with $74.99 for a single bit.

Each bit has a 3/8" cutting diameter, a 3/8" shank and 2 flutes. The cutting length is 1-1/4", with a 3/16" up-cut section at the tip and a 30° helix angle. It's made from solid carbide with our DuraKeen™ coating, a special coating made to extend edge life, and is built for woodworking on a CNC router.

Specifications

Good for

These are the typical jobs for a compression bit:

• Plywood and Baltic birch
• MDF
• Melamine and other laminated panels
• Cabinet and furniture parts cut from sheet goods

Tip for clean edges

Set your cut depth deeper than the 3/16" up-cut section so the down-cut flutes reach the top face. If the cut stays inside the up-cut zone, only the up-cut flutes touch the top face and you lose the compression effect there.
