Cutting 3/4 MDF with Laminate top

[casec11]

Question:
What type of bit would you use to cut 3/4" MDF with a formica laminate on top?
And what feed and speed?

I assume a down cut so as not to peel up the formica.

I normally cut aluminum but a friend has a project for me.

Thanks

Either a downcut or a compression spiral. For a 1/2" tool, 600-700ipm @ 16,000 rpm.
You could also use a cheap carbide tipped straight bit, at a much slower feedrate.
