Amana Tool 46008-K Solid Carbide CNC Spektra™ Extreme Tool Life Coated Spiral Carbon Graphite & Carbon Fiber Panel Cutting 1/8 Dia x 1/2 x 1/4 Shank x 2 Inch Long Down-Cut Router Bit
- Introducing Amana Tools®'s carbon graphite and carbon fiber cutting solid carbide router bits designed to produce a minimum failure in composite materials such as layers separating and a significant loss of mechanical toughness.
- The rapidly growing use of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) necessitates tooling designed to effectively meet the challenges of such composites. Experts have recognized the need for a tool geometry combining a highly abrasion-resistant carbide substrate generous fluting and an impact zone that not only "shatters" the hard carbon fibers but also keeps heat down.
- These industrial router bits combat abrasion heat and the breakdown of composites for clean, accurate cuts.
- Our Spektra™ bits feature a nACo® nanocomposite coating with an extreme nanohardness and heat resistance. With a brilliant distinctively-tinted coloring nACo provides additional improvements in four critical aspects of router tooling.
- nACo coating is a micro-thin ceramic coating which enables the tool's cutting edge to retain crucial sharpness and lubricity. This provides longevity and produces cutting results of the highest quality.
- Coating prevents high heat and oxidation which is detrimental to cutting tool performance.
- Multi-colored hues, while attractive, will dissipate upon use and yet coating will remain fully effective.
- nACo offers approximately 4,500 Vickers for impressive solid hardness on cutting areas of the tool, for an increase up to 2.5 times compared to uncoated bits.
- Note: Blue based color dissipates immediately upon use. nACo® nanocomposite coating will not wear off.
