Router cutting metal faced ultra board

[LarryB]

Does anyone have tips for router cutting 1/2” ultra board with brushed metal face? I have a Multicam 3000 router.

If it's aluminium face just use your standard acm vbit (folding bit) and your standard single flute upcut.
I 've cut stainless steel faced composite and the standard acm vbit simply turned blue and snapped off like a carrot so I cut 8mm grooves for fold lines with a 4mm stainless steel bit and cut it out with the same bit, as well as deploying the mister.

I've used an upcut bit i bought on amazon and it was good, but i bought a Diablo Two Flute Straight Bit at Home Depot and that bit has been the best bit ive used so far...good clean edges.
