Amana Tool Solid Carbide Spiral Plunge Router Bit, Down-Cut, 1/4 Dia x 1 CH x 1/4 Shank, 2-1/2 L

Spiral-flute bits combine a shearing action in cutting with an auguring action in chip clearance. The shearing action yields an especially clean accurate cut, while the auguring action clears chips from the cut. The 'down-cut' cuts from the surface down, leaving a smooth edge at the surface.

Unique features of these bits include a special carbide grade, increased clearance geometry, and razor-sharp cutting edges with polished flutes, which provide a superior finish and longer tool life, especially in abrasive materials. These bits are great for production settings and excellent for creating grooves and dado cuts in particleboard, plywood, and laminate.

Primarily used on CNC machines and other automatic routers, these bits can also be used with handheld and table-mounted portable routers. The Amana Tool Spektra Coated Spiral Plunge Bit, model #46206-K, is a prime example of these features. It has a 1/2-inch diameter, 1-1/4-inch cutting height, 1/2-inch shank, and an overall length of 3 inches, with 2 flutes.

The Spektra Coated Bits are proudly made in the USA and feature a nACo nanocomposite coating with extreme nanohardness and heat resistance, which helps maintain the sharpness and lubricity of the tool's cutting edge. These bits are ideal for cutting a variety of materials, including laminate, melamine, melamine particle board, MDF, veneered plywood, and wood.

The spiral down-cut router bit, model #46415-K, is another example, with a 1/4-inch diameter, 1-inch cutting height, 1/4-inch shank, and an overall length of 2-1/2 inches.
