Bit choice for a project
Hello all,
I am new to the forums, new to Shop Bot, and new to CNC routing. I have successfully completed a project in Polycarbonate and now I am ready to move to another project.
I have a concept of making a display board for round patches - the kind you might sew onto a jacket.
I was thinking of a 24" x 36" overall size with multiple 3-3.5" diameter circles at a 0.25' depth - cut out in an array. I want to use a veneer surface plywood - so my thought was a compression bit but I am making pockets so would a downcut bit be better?
Thanks,
Clint

FEM downcut for clean surface edge and clean bottom. Do a final shallow bottom pass if you want a real nice bottom. If the bottom being clean isn't as big a deal, use a standard downcut.
