I have some significant material to remove on these MDF drawer fronts. Currently the largest tool bit I have is a 1/4" end mill. Recommendations on the appropriate bit to get and use so this job doesn’t run for 3-4 hours?
If it matters I have a robust dust collector…not sure if that would allow me to safely increase the feed rate to speed things up.
I made kitchen doors like this many years ago. I used only 2 bits - a 1/4" upcut endmill and a 60 degree V bit for the profile. I had the luxury to let the program run overnight. Even though I had good dust collection some of the fine dust filled every corner and surface in the shop (just a warning) If I did it again the machine would be in an enclosure.
You can use a 2" surfacing bit for the center flat section but your tramming has to be perfect or you will see ridges.
