Precision CNC Cutting with the Amana Tool 51470-Z
The Amana Tool 51470-Z is a high-performance, solid carbide spiral O flute router bit with a ZrN (Zirconium Nitride) coating. Specifically engineered for cutting aluminum and non-ferrous metals, this bit is ideal for demanding CNC applications where precision, clean edges, and material compatibility are critical. With a micro-diameter of 1/16" and an ultra-sharp, mirror-finished cutting edge, the 51470-Z is a go-to choice for fabricators working with thin aluminum panels and composite materials.
Whether you're producing detailed aluminum signage, intricate parts, or milling aluminum composite panels (ACM), the Amana Tool 51470-Z delivers unbeatable accuracy and tool life.
Built for Aluminum and Non-Ferrous CNC Machining
What sets the 51470-Z apart from standard router bits is its ability to handle a wide range of materials—particularly non-ferrous metals—without compromising on edge quality or speed. The specialized ZrN coating reduces friction, prevents chip welding, and increases heat resistance. This is crucial when working with heat-sensitive materials such as aluminum or copper alloys.
Compatible Materials:
- Aluminum (including 5052, 6061, and other alloys)
- ACM (Aluminum Composite Material)
- Alucobond®, Alupanel®, Dibond®, and e-panel™
- Brass, Copper, and Gold
- Titanium Composite Material (TCM)
- Plastics, Solid Surface, and Non-Ferrous Metals
- Wood and wood composites (MDF, particle board)
- ALPOLIC® Copper Composite Material (CCM)
- Etalbond®, Durabond®, and Fomex® with aluminum face
This bit is perfect for use with CNC routers, where toolpath precision and minimal tool deflection are key.
Key Benefits and Performance Features
- Solid Carbide Construction: Offers durability and long tool life even under high-speed machining.
- Spiral O Flute Design: Optimizes chip evacuation in soft metals and helps produce smooth edge finishes.
- ZrN Coated: Reduces heat build-up, prevents material sticking, and extends tool longevity.
- Razor Sharp Cutting Edge: Mirror-finished flute delivers exceptionally clean cuts in soft metals and plastics.
- Micro Diameter (1/16"): Ideal for detailed work and thin materials requiring tight tolerances.
- High-Speed Capability: Supports up to 35,000 RPM, making it compatible with most modern CNC machines.
Why Choose the Amana Tool 51470-Z?
If you're machining materials like aluminum, brass, or copper, standard router bits can dull quickly or weld chips to the tool, compromising the finish. The 51470-Z solves this with its ultra-sharp edge geometry and ZrN coating—designed specifically for metals that demand better chip control and thermal resistance.
Unlike traditional bits, the 51470-Z spiral O flute bit cuts with both accuracy and efficiency, reducing the need for secondary finishing. Its small cutting diameter makes it ideal for detail-rich applications such as electronics housings, aluminum signs, and precision engineering projects.
Technical Specifications
- Cutting Diameter: 1/16" (1.5875mm)
- Cutting Length: 5/16" (7.94mm)
- Shank Size: 1/4" (6.35mm)
- Overall Length: 2" (50.8mm)
- Coating: ZrN (Zirconium Nitride)
