Cutting Cardboard Tips?

Projects
1

I’m using an X-Carve 1000mm with a Dewalt 611 Spindle. I have 2 Onsrud bits 1/4" and 1/8" cutting diameters.

Does anyone have tips or settings for cutting cardboard? I’m getting pretty rough edges.

EDIT: Including ideas on bits…

Thanks!

What are you trying to cut?

I was thinking maybe a laser cutter?

Something along the lines of this https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/4e/1d/dc/4e1ddcffc7d6a6e60de4252f67a8162b.jpg

Another example would be this:

Hi Robert, it’s about 1.5mm thick, and to me it’s cardboard like old 12" Vinyl album covers.

Silouette Cameo 2. I keep meaning to post a thread about this for template making… It’s specs say the deep cut blade can do 2mm and its orders of magnitude cheaper than a laser cutter.

Knife or laser. Never got clean edges with a spindle on card/board/cardboard/paper. Laser is more practical and usable on other materials but more expensive than a blade.
