1/4" Compression Bit — Chip-Free Edges on Both Sides, Every Time

Laminates and melamine panels are brutal on regular bits — you get a clean bottom and a blown-out top, or vice versa. The 1/4" Compression Bit combines upcut and downcut geometry in one tool, so both faces of your material come out clean. No flipping the panel, no double-sided tape tricks.

The blue nano coating adds wear resistance for longer life, and it handles plywood, hardwood, and softwood just as well as double-sided melamine.

Specs
  • Shank: 1/4″
  • Cut length: 1.5″
  • Overall length: 3″
  • Coating: Blue nano

Best for cabinetry, laminate panels, and any project where both faces need a flawless finish.
