Amana Tool 48122-DLC SC Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) Coated Spiral Plunge 1/8 D x 7/8 CH x 1/4 SHK x 3 Inch Long 2 Flute Up-Cut Router Bit for Solid Wood

Solid Carbide Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) Coated Spiral Flute Plunge Router Bits. 

Designed for ripping, routing, panel sizing and cutting solid wood, plywood, composite., plastic and laminated materials.

Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coated items have a nanocomposite coating that has unique properties of natural diamond: low friction, high hardness, and high corrosion resistance.

Spiral bits combine a shearing action in cutting with an augering action in chip clearance. The shearing action yields an especially clean & accurate cut, while the augering action clears chips from the cut. The “Up-cut” shears from the bottom up, pulling chips from the bottom up, thus allowing deeper penetration with less stress on the tool. An excellent tool choice for mortising. The ‘Down-Cut’ cuts from the surface down leaving a smooth edge at the surface.

These router bits are great for production settings and excellent for creating grooves and dado cuts in plywood and composite materials. Primarily used on CNC machines and other automatic routers.

Note: Due to the extremely small diameters involved, bits with diameters 1/8" and smaller are not guaranteed against breakage. Please excercise caution to the accurate calculations of all feed and speed rates.
