Specially designed for 2D and 3D CNC profiling and carving in plastic & wood with CNC machines. The high-shear ball nose tips cut smooth 2D and 3D contours with reduced stepping while the proprietary Spektra™ coating (applied by the physical vapor deposition coating process) provides high resistance to wear, sharper cutting edges, extended tool life and less friction and heat buildup. Some of Amana Tool carving tools, as you can appreciate have a very small diameter therefore any material chip-loads need to reflect that small size. It can however withstand RPM’s up to 60,000 RPMs. A directed air-blast to keep chips away along with cooling the tool and work piece are always welcome.
Tools are manufactured with high balance that allows them to run up to 60,000 RPMs. Adjust your chip load and feed rate accordingly.
Milling Plastics:
In a milling application, all plastics tend to behave differently so attention must be paid first and foremost to heat input, as that greatly impacts surface finish and chip control.
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.
Note: Blue based color dissipates immediately upon use. nACo® nanocomposite coating will not wear off.
CNC running parameters based on 1 x Diameter depth per pass:
Had an issue with one of the two I purchased. Contacted Amana who told me to get a RMA from KJP. My initial contact was ignored (no response then a confirmation I was being ignored when someone accidentally replied all instead of sending a bcc) Then I was offered the opportunity to return the bit via post at my expense (don't live in Ottawa no mo') provided it had not been used. In my original email I said I got home and used it. The issue was it marred the work and the only way one could see that is if ya used the bit.
Turns out there was a problem the bit was defective and Amana took care of me without any assistance from KJP.
Was a gross interaction and I don't know why Andrew was such a meanie Richard head from the jump.
Really good bit. The pilot drill broke pretty early on. Seems to be a somewhat common issue. So I happened to be back in Ottawa and decided to pop in to KJP. Ran in to Andrew, who had no idea who I was, and asked about buying a replacement pilot drill. He was rude af and told me they don't stock the drill but I could go online and order it tho...
That was very helpful because I wasn't aware you can buy stuff on the internet.
Came in on time and in great condition
Excellent bit with Spectra finish, very clean cutting leaving very clean top and bottom edges on Baltic Birch plywood
