Description
1/4″ Compression End Mill
Tungsten Carbide • Nano Blue Coated
Overview
Built for clean, chip-free edges on both the top and bottom of sheet goods. The compression geometry combines up-cut and down-cut flutes to pull fibers inward and reduce tear-out, making it ideal for plywood, laminates, and veneered materials on spindle-driven CNC machines.
Best For
- Plywood
- MDF
- Laminated sheet goods
- Veneered panels
Why Choose It
- Clean top and bottom edges in one pass
- Great for sheet goods and laminates
- Nano Blue coating reduces heat and friction
- Stable cutting at higher spindle RPMs
Starting Parameters
Conservative starting values for spindle-driven CNC machines.
- Spindle: 16,000–18,000 RPM
- Feed: 120–180 IPM
- Plunge: 40–60 IPM
- Cut Strategy: Run deep enough to fully engage the compression zone
