51511-K - Plastic Cutting (Solid Carbide, Spiral 'O' Flute, Down-Cut) Shank (d): 1/4" Diameter (D): 1/8" Cutting Length (B): 1/2" Overall Length (L): 2" Flutes: 1 Flute To be used only on CNC machines and routers with automatic feeding. Produce super clean, smooth cuts especially in acrylic materials (Plexiglas® Lucite®) other plastics and wood. Bits are made according to strict tolerances from an exclusive carbide grade and polished to a mirror finish using Amana’s unique process. Designed to eject chips up. Ideal for industrial applications and CNC machines. Right hand helix right hand cut.

They are used in a variety of applications including boat building packaging signage outdoor advertising and the production of pet cages. **A soft plastic cardboard made with super soft super flexible PVC. ***Gatorfoam® Foam Board a polystyrene foam board bonded between two layers of Luxcell® wood-fiber veneer. ****Decorative high-pressure compact laminate (HPL) with an integral surface. †Recommendation: Use the slowest suggested feed rates and the shortest bits necessary for cutting and routing Lexan™. Router collet reducer RB-102 (1/4 to 1/8) available for 1/8 shank bits. Coating 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. 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. Note: Blue based color dissipates immediately upon use. nACo® nanocomposite coating will not wear off. Benefits of Mirror-Finish Razor sharp cutting edge Effortless chip removal Helps prevent chip re-welding Extends tool life Exceptional cut quality Dissipates heat well and prevents melting Speed and Feed Rate CNC running parameters based on 1 x Diameter depth per pass: RPM: 18,000 Feed Rate: 40 IPM Chip Load per tooth: 0.006" Ramp down Rate: 20 IPM
