Amana Tool's variable helix tools are the superstars of carbide end mills for professionals and hobbyists alike. The variable helix eliminates harmonic chatter, so critical when surface finishes part dimension tolerances and tool life are of the utmost importance. Premium Aluminum Titanium Nitride (AlTiN) coating provides quantum increases in productivity either in terms of speed or longevity with or without coolant.
They are outstanding tools for peripheral milling and can take aggressive cuts along the full length of the overall flute length with no issues. They last much longer than general purpose end mills partly because they are coated partly because they dampen vibration which tends to break a sharp cutting edge down very quickly. For use with manual and automatic milling machines, as well as the most sophisticated CNC machines.
4 Flute unique variable design for faster speeds and feeds. Quiet operation & better finishes.Warning: Inspect cut quality adjust feed and speed accordingly. Care should be taken to observe proper feeds and speeds according to the workpiece material to avoid damage.
Note: For optimal results and extended tool life use mist lubricant system or air cooling.CNC running parameters based on 1 x Diameter depth per pass:
LOVE everything I've ordered! It's all great quality, nice and flat, great selection and perfect for laser projects. Highly recommend KJP! Please continue to carry Houston Acrylics as well- love their acrylic colours and supporting their small business as well. The pattern ply are fun and so nice too. Thanks KJP! This Canadian laser user is so happy to have found your shop.
I have ordered the craft 1/8" walnut plywood from KJP with great results, but this 'TruFlat' stuff is not real walnut. In any case, looks very different from the other laserable walnut mdf-veneered product I have from Trotec, as well as the other craft ply walnut from KJP- which is good for lasering, btw. Order a sample first. It is very flat tho, but lookswise its not what we were looking for... not going to get this again.
