Why This Kit Belongs in Your CNC Toolbox

• Ideal for hardwood, softwood, plywood, MDF and many sheet goods
• Solid tungsten carbide construction with a nano blue coating

Choose the Right Bit for the Cut

Use the up-cut bit when chip evacuation and deep cutting performance are the priority. Choose the down-cut bit when protecting the visible top surface matters most. Reach for the compression bit when you need clean edges on both faces of plywood or laminated sheet goods.

Each kit includes one UC-2525 Up-Cut End Mill, one DC-2525 Down-Cut End Mill and one Cat-4 Compression End Mill.
