so i was finally able to convince my boss to buy a compression bit, its a whiteside solid carbide compression bit, 1/4 cut 1/4 shank, can compression bits be plunged into the cut like the other bits, i have seen other posts about ramping into the cut and im wondering if that is something i have to worry about with a compression bit, i would like to avoid any potential failures if possible as this is my first time using a compression bit, im running a kongsberg xn and have always plunged into my cuts without any problem
im using the compression bit to cut 4" coasters out of 6mm plywood and the current settings i have for this are
rpm - 15,000
ipm - 125
