I have been experiencing some problems when cutting melamine panels. I am using a 1/2\" compressing spiral and while the cutter is ramping the up-cut on the bit is chipping the melamine.
I was wondering what everyone else was doing about this. I thought about not ramping and just plunging into the cut, could someone tell me what the setting should be in rolling nest to stop the ramping or any other suggestions that help.
Thanks

I am not sure what brand of compression bit I am using at the moment, but I don't think its a mortise and tenon compression. Someone else did tell me to try those, what is the difference?
The upcut on the bit I am using presently is 1/2\", so should I change the preramp depth to 1/2\" or is that to much.
Thanks again for the help!
