Amana Tool Spektra Extreme Life Coated Compression Spiral CNC Router Bit Cuts Laminated Chipboard

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.

Hello. Why do you slow down on the corners?

[rodpalmer]

What Cam are you using to slow the IPM at direction change?

[dtsnjsn]

would these work in full size mills? and on aluminum?

[ryanharwood]

I have a 48354-k 10mm compression bit what speed and feed rate should I run it at and could it cut 18mm double sided laminated chipboard in one pass?

[garyg]

What is the power rating of the spindle used in this video?

[rhess]

can these bits be put in to a standard or trim router?

[justcruisin]

If I only have a 2.2kW spindle (3HP), can it run the half inch cutter at those speeds or would I be better off with a slower feed rate or smaller diameter cutter - say 3/8". I've seen the formula for calculating feed rates (RPM x # of flutes x chip load) but that doesn't factor in the HP of the spindle which must factor in to the overall calculation.

[eduanbarnett]

Hi is the feed Rate 600" or 0, 600" ?? thanks

[martinbotes]

Hi there
I am from South Africa can we buy directly from you guys

[edsalinas]

hi, I bought a 3/8 compression spectra to cut 18mm MDF, after 5 hours of cutting at 12.000 RPM and 4000mmpm it broke, what it could go wrong? thank you!

[vivianng]

hi, we need bits that can cut chipboard. our spindle are 3.0kw with maximum 24, 000rpm which bits should we use? our material are 16mm/25mm thickness.

[gama]

One question: What cutting speed is the cutting tool in the video? Thank you so much

[chrisose]

Apparently ToolsToday is using a different speed and feed equation to the rest of the milling industry.
A 0.012 chip load at 18, 000 rpm returns a 432ipm feed rate, not 600. And that is ignoring the chip load reduction for a pass depth greater than the radial diameter.
They have actually changed the part number on this bit to 46188-K and when you look at their own feed and speed charts they have it listed at 400ipm for the same bit.

Sorry ToolsToday, I'll stick with my Onsrud 60-100MC bits that will actually run at 600ipm.

Hi i have a Morbidelli N100 just arrived at the workshop. What is the best feed rate RPM for cutting MDF Laminated 18 mm thinkness with the Spectra 3/8 2 flutes? my spindles goes upto 20.000 RPM. can you please sendme the answer in mm. Im using this bit with 18.000 rpm feed rate 18000 mm x min if i convert the feed rate of the video 600 ipm to mm its ok to run this bit at 18.000 rpm 23000 mmpm? thank you best reward Agustin
