Amana Tool 45745 Carbide V-Groove 90 Deg. Folding for Composite Panels

The specially designed steel shank of the Carbide cutting tip is brazed, enabling it to effectively cut grooves in composite building materials. By routing v-shaped grooves, the aluminum cover and a portion of the polyethylene core can be removed, allowing for easy folding and creasing of the remaining material by hand. The use of high-quality amana-grade carbide significantly extends the lifespan of the tool, surpassing that of carbide tipped tooling.

Composite material panels like TCM, ccm, and ACM are widely utilized for cladding various exterior and interior applications, such as office buildings, hospitals, convention centers, airports, and hotels. Their exceptional durability makes them an excellent choice for buildings, signage, displays, and more. The specific specifications for the Carbide cutting tip are as follows: #45745, with a diameter (D) of 1/2, an angle (a°) of 90°, a cutting height (B) of 3/8, a shank (D) of 1/4, an overall length (L) of 2-1/8, and a B1 measurement of 13/64. It is a Type ZRN coated V-Groove with a maximum RPM of 28,000, featuring two flutes, a D1 measurement of 0.090", and an A1° of 45. This carbide V-Groove bit is ideal for folding composite material panels like TCM, ccm, and ACM, with a tip width of 0.090", a cutting height of 3/8, a diameter of 1/2, and a shank size of 1/4. The router bit is proudly made in the USA.

One of the major advantages of the Zirconium Nitride (ZrN) coating is that it creates a harder and tougher cutting edge, resulting in a prolonged lifespan for the cutting edge. Additionally, the coating helps prevent material build-up in the flutes during cutting and enables the tool to run and spin at a much faster rate compared to uncoated tools. The optimized flute geometry and low Total Indicated Runout (TIR) guarantee clean cuts and essentially eliminate the need for sanding. Furthermore, the ZrN coating reduces chatter, which occurs when the machine or work piece vibrates, particularly under high chip loads when used with low TIR spindles.
