Amana 1/8 CARVING 3D TAPERD ENDMILL 46576
Specially designed for 2D and 3D CNC profiling and carving in plastic, aluminum and wood with CNC machines. The high-shear ball nose tips cut smooth 2D and 3D contours with reduced stepping while the proprietary ZrN coating (applied by the physical vapor deposition coating process) provides high resistance to wear, sharper cutting edges, extended tool life and less friction and heat buildup.
Some of Amana Tool carving tools have a very small diameter therefore any material chip-loads need to reflect that small size. It can however withstand RPMs up to 60,000. A directed air-blast to keep chips away along with cooling the tool and work piece are recommended.
Tools are manufactured with high balance that allows them to run up to 60,000 RPMs. Adjust your chip load and feed rate accordingly.

***Ethafoam, Polyethylene and Polylam are durable, flexible, closed-cell foams with excellent memory.
Benefits of Zirconium Nitride (ZrN) Coating:
- Creates a harder and tougher cutting edge allowing prolonged cutting edge life and helping prevent build-up of material in the flutes while cutting
- Allows tools to run/spin faster than an uncoated tool
- Optimized flute geometry and low Total Indicated Runout (TIR) guarantee clean cuts and reduce chatter under high chip loads
- High flute volume supports high feed rates and chip loads
- High aspect ratio for single pass deep-reach cutting
- Flute geometry optimized for cutting sign foam, sign board, hardwoods, thermoplastics and phenolic composites
Milling Plastics:
In a milling application, all plastics behave differently so attention must be paid first and foremost to heat input, as that greatly impacts surface finish and chip control.
Suggested starting spindle speed might be 18,000 RPM; experimentation may be required to achieve the best finish.
Router collet reducer RB-102 (1/4 to 1/8) available for 1/8 shank bits.
