When working with any veneer finished material in your CNC machine, you need a compression spiral end mill to make full depth cut. These bits are designed to leave clean edges on the top and bottom faces of any material. The compression bit's unique design pulls chips upward at the bottom of the stock and downward at the top face, producing chip-free surfaces that are perfect for cabinet and furniture parts. Compression cut spiral end mills are excellent for melamine, plywood, MDF and solid wood.
