Amana Tool Solid Carbide CNC Spiral for Glass Reinforced Plastic Cutting 1/8 x 1/2 x 1/4 Shank Upcut ZrN Coated Router Bit – 3 Flute

Thank you for shopping with us!

Fiberglass-impregnated materials are well-known for their abrasiveness with a tendency to fray or shred during machining, along with heat created by the router bit. Amana Tool’s response to these challenges is an extremely free-cutting, multi-edge tool that shears the material without shredding or producing unnecessary heat. Adding a Zirconium Nitride Ceramic (ZrN) coating increases the edge hardness by nearly 50%, greatly increasing the life of the cutting edge.

Benefits of ZrN Coating

• Creates a harder and tougher cutting edge, allows for a prolonged cutting edge life, and helps to prevent the build-up of material in the flutes while cutting
• High resistance to wear
• Extended tool life
• Less friction & heat buildup

Excellent for cutting: +Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS) +Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) +Composite Materials +Coroplast® +Fiberglass +Fiberglass PCB Board +Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) +High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS) +Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) +Poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) +Polycarbonate (Lexan™)† +Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol-Modified (PETG / PET-G) +Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO)

†Recommendation: Use the slowest suggested feed rates and the shortest bits necessary for cutting and routing Lexan™.

Tools are manufactured with high balance that allows them to run up to 60,000 RPM. Adjust your chipload and feed rate accordingly.
