Amana AMA-46094-K Spektra 1/4 Dia Solid Carbide Up-Cut Spiral Composite Fiberglass & Phenolic Cutting Extreme Tool Life Coated Router Bit

Amana Tool's Modern Materials Finishing Geometry (MMFG) incorporates high shear multi-flute and a Spektra coating designed for the ultimate combination of finish and tool longevity in aerospace materials. Modern-day materials present challenges to the fabricator using these special multi-flute edge tools featuring Spektra coating addresses these challenges with a winning geometry combination. Amana's Spektra bits feature a nACo nanocomposite coating with an extreme nano hardness and heat resistance. With a brilliant distinctively tinted coloring nACo provides additional improvements in four critical aspects of router tooling.

Features:

• nACo coating is a micro-thin ceramic coating which enables the tool's cutting edge to retain crucial sharpness and lubricity. This provides longevity and produces cutting results of the highest quality.
• Coating prevents high heat and oxidation which is detrimental to cutting tool performance.
• Multi-colored hues, while attractive, will dissipate upon use and yet coating will remain fully effective.
• nACo offers approximately 4,500 Vickers for impressive solid hardness on cutting areas of the tool, for an increase up to 2.5 times compared to uncoated bits.
