Designed to cut a large variety of honeycomb materials, hogger geometry is excellent for shredding and chip evacuation while maintaining a smooth surface.
Amana Tool's "hogger" style routers for honeycomb composites incorporate a precision-ground "knuckle" profile, allowing a freer-cutting action that reduces power requirements and less sidewall pressure in low output spindles while giving impressive gains in feed-rates. ZrN coating greatly enhances durability in highly abrasive composites.
Excellent for cutting
Honeycomb
Composite Materials
Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS)
Lexan™
Zirconium Nitride (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
Have the tendency to run/spin much faster than an uncoated tool
Optimized flute geometry and low Total Indicated Runout (TIR) guarantees clean cuts, essentially eliminates sanding and reduces chatter (where the machine or work piece vibrates) under high chip loads (when used with low TIR spindles)
High flute volume supports high feed rates and chip loads
High aspect ratio for single pass deep-reach cutting
Flute geometry optimized for cutting sign foam, sign board, hardwoods, thermoplastics and phenolic composites
For optimal results and extended tool life use mist lubricant system or air cooling.
Speed and Feed Rate
CNC running parameters based on 1 x Diameter depth per pass:
straight and true. First time using Iroko. Outdoor mostly sheltered area.Not Teak but still quite pricey. KJP is a great company to deal with, like a candy store for wood
