Amana Tool 51474-Z – Premium CNC Bit for Aluminum and Non-Ferrous Metals
The Amana Tool 51474-Z is a high-performance solid carbide spiral O flute router bit. This device is designed specifically for CNC cutting of aluminum and various non-ferrous metals. Featuring advanced ZrN coating and precision-ground geometry, it delivers excellent cutting performance and long life. It produces ultra-smooth finishes even at high speeds, making it ideal for fabricators, machinists, and sign makers alike.
With its professional-grade design, this bit offers reliable results across many materials. It balances durability with precision, ensuring every cut is clean and smooth. Whether working on intricate designs or demanding production runs, this cutter stands out among similar router bits in the market.
Key specifications include a 1/8" cutting diameter, 5/8" cutting height, 1/4" shank, and a 2" overall length. This router excels in detailed milling, routing, and engraving tasks. It supports spindle speeds up to 35,000 RPM, enabling fast, precise, and reliable machining on soft metals and composites. Such capability is vital for efficient CNC operations.
Why the Amana Tool 51474-Z Stands Out in Metal and Aluminum Tooling
This is not just another spiral bit — its engineering suits heavy-duty CNC applications with challenging materials prone to chip build-up or thermal issues. The extensive Zirconium Nitride (ZrN) coating greatly prolongs life and cutting efficiency. By reducing heat, ZrN prevents aluminum from welding to the cutting edge. This feature resolves common challenges in high-speed machining and extends operating time.
The innovative coating and sharp geometry maintain smooth cutting even at elevated speeds. This makes the Amana Tool 51474-Z a trusted choice among professional CNC users who want to optimize workflow without losing quality.
Materials This Router Bit Excels At
The versatility of this bit makes it usable on a broad spectrum of surfaces. It delivers excellent performance across multiple materials, including:
- Aluminum alloys like 5052 and 6061
- Aluminum composite panels (ACM/ACP), such as Alucobond®, Dibond®, Alpolic®, and Alupanel®
- Brass, copper, silver, and gold
- Plastic and solid surface materials
- Fomex® with aluminum face, TCM, and other composites
- Hardwood and softwood, including wood-based composites
Optimized flute geometry ensures clean edges and excellent chip evacuation. It also reduces melting or burring, common when machining softer materials. These features make it ideal for both fine detail work and large production runs.
Designed for High-Speed CNC Cutting with Advanced Tooling
This router bit is compatible with all standard CNC machines and routers operating at high RPMs. Its single-flute spiral design supports fast feed rates while maintaining stability and precision. This design allows deeper passes without risk of deflection or chatter, ensuring consistent quality and performance.
Common applications include:
- Signage production
- Aerospace and automotive prototyping
- Custom metal fabrication
- Electronic and architectural panel work
- Jewelry making and engraving on precious metals
Professional Quality and Longevity of Tooling
Amana Tool is recognized for producing some of the highest-quality tooling. This bit lives up to that reputation with durability and precision. Made from solid micro-grain carbide and expertly sharpened, it offers:
- Long-lasting edge retention
