Description
The 16mm 3 flute compression cutter (16x45x110) is built for professional CNC routing of melamine, veneered board, and other laminated panels. Its compression flute geometry pulls chips downward at the tip and upward through the body, producing a clean, splinter-free finish on both the top and bottom faces of the panel in a single pass, reducing the need for secondary finishing.
With a 16mm cutting diameter, 45mm cutting length, and 110mm overall length, this router bit is suited to panels of common commercial thicknesses, making it a practical choice for kitchen, cabinet, and furniture manufacturers who need consistent edge quality at production speed. The three-flute design improves chip evacuation and surface finish compared with two-flute options, while still supporting strong feed rates in high-volume workshops.
Manufactured from high-grade tungsten carbide, this compression cutter holds a sharp cutting edge over extended runs, resists heat build-up, and delivers a long service life when used with correct feed and speed settings. It is compatible with standard CNC routers and machining centres used across cabinet making, joinery, and panel processing.
Superior Saws stocks a wide range of compression cutters in different diameters and flute configurations to suit various panel thicknesses and materials. Get in touch with our team if you need help choosing the right compression cutter for your machine and application.
