Amana adds carbide roughing bits

Amana Tool, manufacturer of industrial-quality carbide-tipped, solid carbide and replacement carbide cutting tools, now offers solid carbide roughing spiral multi-flute router bits.

With the bits, users can cut abrasive materials such as carbon fiber, Trespa and fiberglass. The new router bits are ideal for industrial applications, including manufacturing airplanes and boats, using CNC and table-mounted router machines, according to the company.

Amana says its multi-flute router bit geometry helps prevent chip-out on the top of the material by pushing chips down during the cutting pass.

“Router bit durability is a major concern for manufacturers and other users working with abrasive materials. Amana Tool’s exclusive carbide grade and unique router bit geometry not only create a better, more accurate cut, they help bits last longer, saving both time and materials,” Amana Tool technical director Frank Misiti said in a statement.

The bits are available in 1/4” and 1/2” diameters. For information, visit www.amanatool.com.
