I would use a PCD bit on any PB that is laminated. Chipbreaker is not ideal for a smooth finish cut.

Either the tool bit is done or your first pass is too shallow.

PCD is a bad idea on melamine. The ones I've tried do what you have here.

I have 3 flute 3/8 compression bit
but i just check PCD bit is just 1 flute and i think i will need to slow down speed of cutting

What feed rate on the 3 flute? Anything slower than 900IPM at 16K RPM and you're killing the bit.

it could or could not be the bit
we have ran some melamine that
the finish is real brittle & no matter what u use the finish chips like what urs has.
so if u have some older stock u could try a small cut out on it & see if it is eliminated.
then u will know if cutter or finish is the culprit.

I was thinking about that but my regular down-cut bits make still clean cut without any chipping . this is happen just with 3/8 compression bit

If I understand your speeds properly, it looks like your running the 3 flute at 429 IPM. Way too slow.

I also agree about the melamine supplier. I refuse to run certain material for just this reason.

Bob,

That picture does not look like a chipbreaker tool. The biggest problem I see also are feed rates are way too slow. You will have better results with a 2+2, If you are not running a high feed rate a 3+3 is over kill.

Hope this helps,

Do you have any recommendation for settings ?

Bob,

Do you want to stay with the 3+3 or move to the 2+2 (recommended)?

I ready have 3 new extra bits. I like to stay with 3 flute for now

I noticed your pass depth is 9.2 so you need to use 3 passes for 19mm material? What model of router do you have that needs to make 3 passes? I agree 400 in min is way to slow for that tool. I start out at 12,000 rpm 30meters min one pass. If you have a light machine maybe you can not do this and need to go to either a 2 flute or even single flute tool.

As for these panels they look like it may be just the finish that is the problem. If you are using multiple passes and the first one is definitely deep enough to get into down sheer, what does the cut look like after first pass?

Bob,

You are going to have to increase your feed rate a lot then. I would start @ 700 IPM and work up quickly from there on feed rate. Keep in mind collets, machine condition, and hold down comes in to the formula also. But, keep in mind that material maybe holding you back also.

Hi dustmaker1 .
I just change setting that is cut in single pass plus onion skin . My CNC is omnitech seleex pal.
Cut looks much better now. and i think that is problem in bit up-cut partion ( i just put new bit) and my gues that is material too . I just order material from new supply . ( material supplier is UNIBOARD )

Uniboard is one of the better melamines to cut.

I would bet that you are cutting the top surface on first pass with the bottom of the tools using up-cut wings.

Now that your cut is better and you are going deep enough, you might consider going to a standard compression bit when cutting 3/4 or 5/8 melamine instead of the mortise compression. The mortise compression will work but the small amount of up-shear means that the kerf is not well evacuated. That means more re cutting of chips, more heat and less tool life.
Some make this sacrifice so they can cut 1/2 inch and 3/4 with the same tool as well as all 1/4 inch dadoes. Just a choice between versatility and tool life.

    WOODWEB's forums are a highly regarded resource for professional woodworkers. Messages and responses that are crafted in a professional and civil manner strengthen this resource. Messages that do not reflect a professional tone reduce the value of our forums.

    Messages are inappropriate when their content: is deemed libelous in nature or is based on rumor, fails to meet basic standards of decorum, contains blatant advertising or inappropriate emphasis on self promotion (return to top).

    Libel:   Posts which defame an individual or organization, or employ a tone which can be viewed as malicious in nature. Words, pictures, or cartoons which expose a person or organization to public hatred, shame, disgrace, or ridicule, or induce an ill opinion of a person or organization, are libelous.

    Improper Decorum:   Posts which are profane, inciting, disrespectful or uncivil in tone, or maliciously worded. This also includes the venting of unsubstantiated opinions. Such messages do little to illuminate a given topic, and often have the opposite effect. Constructive criticism is acceptable (return to top).

    Advertising:   The purpose of WOODWEB Forums is to provide answers, not an advertising venue. Companies participating in a Forum discussion should provide specific answers to posted questions. WOODWEB suggests that businesses include an appropriately crafted signature in order to identify their company. A well meaning post that seems to be on-topic but contains a product reference may do your business more harm than good in the Forum environment. Forum users may perceive your references to specific products as unsolicited advertising (spam) and consciously avoid your web site or services. A well-crafted signature is an appropriate way to advertise your services that will not offend potential customers. Signatures should be limited to 4-6 lines, and may contain information that identifies the type of business you're in, your URL and email address (return to top).

    Repeated Forum Abuse: Forum participants who repeatedly fail to follow WOODWEB's Forum Guidelines may encounter difficulty when attempting to post messages.

    There are often situations when the original message asks for opinions: "What is the best widget for my type of shop?". To a certain extent, the person posting the message is responsible for including specific questions within the message. An open ended question (like the one above) invites responses that may read as sales pitches. WOODWEB suggests that companies responding to such a question provide detailed and substantive replies rather than responses that read as a one-sided product promotion. It has been WOODWEB's experience that substantive responses are held in higher regard by our readers (return to top).
