Routing MDF

MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard) is a medium density pressed material.
To make MDF, wood fibers are ground very finely and mixed with synthetic resin glue. Then everything is pressed into sheet form. MDF can be routed well and is used for many applications, such as advertising objects, stage construction, cabinets, furniture, ...

Compression tool for routing thick MDF

A compression tool has a double helix, where the cutter has a short positive cutting edge at the bottom and a negative cutting edge at the top. In this way, delamination on both sides of the MDF panel is avoided. The geometry of a compression tool allows for high feed rates and guarantees a perfect edge finish.
