Amana 51521 Glass Cutting 1/8 D x 1/2 CH x 1/4 Shank x 2-1/2" x 3 Flute ZrN Coated Up-Cut Router Bit
Amana 51521 Solid Carbide CNC Spiral for Glass Reinforced Plastic Cutting 1/8 Dia x 1/2 x 1/4 Shank Up-Cut ZrN Coated Router BitFiberglass-impregnated materials are well known for their abrasiveness along 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 Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) multi-flute tool that shears the material without shredding or imparting unnecessary heat.
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™.
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
- High resistance to wear
