Solid Carbide Spektra™ Extreme Tool Life Coated Single 'O' Flute, Plastic Cutting Router Bits
Used for routing harder and more rigid plastics in the following materials: Acrylic, Acetal, Nylon, PVC, ABS, Phenolic, Corian, Poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), Acrylic Stone, Coroplast®, etc.
Amana Tool® 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 an 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.
- Coatings 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.
