This Compression Bit combines both up-cut and down-cut flutes to deliver chip-free edges on the top and bottom faces of your workpiece. With a cutting size of 10mm × 25mm, it’s engineered for CNC routing, joinery, and furniture production. By pulling and pushing chips toward the centre, it leaves crisp edges on plywood, MDF, solid timber, and laminates. Key benefits Chip-free edges — up-cut and down-cut sections protect both faces for cleaner finishes. DLC or nano coating reduces friction and heat build-up for longer life and higher feeds. 3-flute finish & accuracy — stable cutting, smooth walls, and excellent dimensional control. Ideal for CNC routing of wood, MDF, plywood, laminates and non-abrasive composites. Handles tough runs in hardwoods, plywood and plastics where ordinary bits dull quickly. Great for dados, grooves, slots, mortises and edge trimming; also works on thin aluminium (application dependent). .atlas-spec-table-wrap { padding: 5px; margin: 30px 0 0; border: 1px solid #000; border-radius: 16px; overflow: hidden; background: #161616; box-shadow: inset 0px 1px 2px rgba(255,255,255,0.5), inset 0px 1px 2px rgba(255,255,255,0.5), 5px 8px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.5), 0 0px 1px rgba(0,0,0,0.5); } .atlas-spec-table { width: 100%; border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0; border: 0; margin: 0; background: transparent; } .atlas-spec-table th { background: #dca101; color: #000000; text-align: left; padding: 14px 16px; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 800; } .atlas-spec-table th:first-child { border-top-left-radius: 12px; border-top-left-radius: 12px; border-right: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.2); } .atlas-spec-table td { padding: 14px 16px; border-top: 1px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.08); } .atlas-spec-table td:first-child { width: 42%; border-right: 1px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.08); color: #f2f2f2; font-weight: bold; } .atlas-spec-table td:last-child { color: #d6d6d6; } .atlas-spec-table tbody tr:nth-child(odd) td { background: #1f1f1f; } .atlas-spec-table tbody tr:nth-child(even) td { background: #161616; } .atlas-spec-table th:first-child { border-top-left-radius: 12px; } .atlas-spec-table th:last-child { border-top-right-radius: 12px; } Spec Result Diameter 10mm Cut Length 25mm Shank (Collet Size) 10mm Overall Length 38mm Flutes 3 Coating Nano (NaCO) DLC or nano coating for low-friction cutting An optional DLC or advanced nano coating improves heat resistance and lubricity, helping reduce chip welding and heat build-up. This means cleaner edges, more consistent finishes, and longer tool life in demanding materials. Reduced friction means lower heat, better chip evacuation, and more reliable results over long production runs. Versatility and benefits Thanks to its 3-flute compression geometry, this bit excels at dados, grooves, slots, mortises, and edge trimming. It’s a go-to for cabinetmakers, sign makers, and CNC users cutting hardwoods, laminates, veneers and sheet goods, and it can be used on thin aluminium where suitable. Whether you’re pocketing, trimming laminates, or nesting parts, this compression bit improves productivity and finish quality.
