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, specifically designed for CNC cutting of aluminum and non-ferrous metals. With advanced ZrN coating and precision-ground geometry, this bit provides excellent performance, long life, and ultra-smooth finishes, even at high speeds. Whether you're a fabricator, machinist, or sign maker, this tool offers professional-grade results across a wide range of materials.
With specifications of 1/8" cutting diameter, 5/8" cutting height, 1/4" shank, and 2" overall length, the Amana Tool 51474-Z is ideal for detailed milling, routing, and engraving applications. It supports spindle speeds of up to 35,000 RPM, enabling fast, precise, and reliable machining on soft metals and composites.
Why the Amana Tool 51474-Z Stands Out
This tool isn’t just another spiral bit—it’s built to handle demanding CNC applications in materials known for causing chip build-up or thermal issues. The Amana Tool 51474-Z is coated with Zirconium Nitride (ZrN), which significantly improves tool life and cutting efficiency. ZrN reduces heat generation and prevents aluminum from welding to the cutting edge, which is a common problem in high-speed machining.
Materials the Amana Tool 51474-Z Excels At
The Amana Tool 51474-Z is highly versatile and can be used on a wide variety of materials, including:
-
Aluminum (5052, 6061, and alloys)
-
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 composite panels
-
Hardwood and softwood, including wood-based composites
Thanks to its optimized flute geometry, this bit delivers clean edges, excellent chip evacuation, and reduced melting or burring—making it perfect for both precision detail work and production-level output.
Designed for High-Speed CNC Cutting
The Amana Tool 51474-Z is compatible with all standard CNC machines, including routers and milling systems capable of running at high RPM. Its single-flute spiral design is tailored for fast feed rates while maintaining stability and precision. It allows for deeper passes without risking tool deflection or chatter.
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
Amana Tool is known for producing some of the highest-quality tooling in the industry, and the 51474-Z lives up to that reputation. Built from solid micro-grain carbide and precisely sharpened, this bit delivers:
-
Long-lasting edge retention
-
Superior rigidity
-
Smooth finish quality
-
Reduced rework and sanding
The ZrN coating also resists wear and oxidation, especially important when working with abrasive or corrosive materials.
