Compression bits are great because they leave a nice finish on both the top and bottom side of your material. This is because they create both upward and downward force while cutting.

Upcut bits pull up on your material while cutting to help clear chips, but can create some chipping or a rougher finish on the topside of your material. Downcut bits push down on your material while cutting to create a nice top finish, but that can lead to some chipping or a rougher finish on the bottom side of your material. Choose a style of bit to match the type of cut and finish you’d like to achieve.
