Up-Cut Ball Nose for Superior Chip Ejection in CNC and CNC Carving MachinesAmana Tool®'s Modern Materials Finishing Geometry (MMFG) incorporates high shear, multi-flute and a Zirconium Nitride (ZrN) Coating designed for the ultimate combination of strength, finish and tool longevity in aerospace materials. Modern-day materials present challenges to the fabricator, using these special multi-flute edge tools featuring ZrN ceramic coating addresses these challenges with a winning geometry combination.Applications:A perfect bit for 3D carving2D and 3D contouring, profiling, modeling and pattern making for cabinetry, sign making, furniture making and jewelry mold makingDimensional signage3D millworkPrecision 2D and 3D large scale carving Great for deep profilingPerfect for model-makers on large 3D milling profiles in abrasive EPS foam and other materialsThe industrial router bits can be used in sign making & 3D Carving industries in MDF, Plastics, Bronze, Copper, Foam, Wood and other materials. The simultaneous 3-axis motion with the appropriate software allows full 3D capability that provides sign and 3D model makers the ability to work with any material.The solid carbide tips cut smooth 2D and 3D contours with reduced stepping while the proprietary ZrN coating (applied by the physical vapor deposition coating process) provides high resistance to wear, sharper cutting edges, extended tool life and less friction & heat buildup.The tapered design achieves high detail in deep cuts, improving the complexity and the detail of your finished work. The longer bits provide deeper cuts and larger slices with fewer passes, resulting in improved productivity and less assembly. These router bits are designed to last, saving you the costs of replacing lesser quality tools. These CNC cutting tools allow you to achieve precision, depth, unparalleled accuracy, detail and clarity in foam and other modern-day materials.Benefits of ZrN Coating:Creates incredibly precise detail workOptimized flute geometry and low Total Indicated Runout (TIR) guarantees clean cuts, essentially eliminates sanding and reduces chatter when used with low TIR spindlesCreates a harder and tougher cutting ceramic over carbide edge, allowing for a prolonged cutting edge life and helps to prevent the build-up/galling of material in the flutes while cuttingPVD ceramic hardcoat designed for soft, gummy and abrasive materialsHigh aspect ratio for single pass deep-reach cuttingHigh flute volume supports high feed rates and chip loads. Has the ability to run and/or be spun much faster than uncoated toolsFlute geometry optimized for cutting sign foam, sign board, hardwoods, thermoplastics and phenolic compositesExcellent for cutting:Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS)AcrylicAcrylic StoneAluminumBrassBronzeCompositeCopperCorianCoroplast®*Dibond®Ethafoam***Ethylene-vinyl Acetate Foam (EVA)Expanded Polystyrene Foam (EPS)Expanded Polypropylene (EPP)**Extruded Polystyrene Foam (XPS)FiberglassFiberglass PCB BoardFoam BoardGraphiteHDPEHDU20lbs High Density UrethaneMDF/HDFPALFOAM™Polyethylene (PE) Foam*PhenolicsPlasticsPhenolic CompositesPolycarbonate (Lexan™)Poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)Polyethylene (PE) Foam***Polylam***Polyurethane FoamPVCPVC Foam BoardSign BoardSign FoamTitaniumTooling BoardWoodXPE (Cross Linked Polyethylene) Foam
