FARMINGDALE, N.Y.–(EON: Enhanced Online News)–Amana Tool, manufacturer of industrial-quality carbide-tipped, solid carbide and replacement carbide cutting tools, today announced its solid carbide CNC compression spiral router bits produce smooth, clean cuts in double-sided melamine, laminated materials and MDF. the bits are designed for CNC applications that require high feed rates and clean finishes, such as furniture, cabinetry and closet manufacturing.

“Chip out is a common problem when working with laminated MDF, melamine and other abrasive materials. Amana’s compression spiral router bits help furniture makers and other manufacturers overcome this obstacle through innovative tool design and our special-grade carbide that deliver superior performance while saving time and materials.”

Amana’s unique compression router bit geometry helps prevent chip out on the top and bottom of the material by pushing chips down and ejecting them up during the same cutting pass. Made from a special carbide grade, the bits last longer than standard router bits, especially when working with abrasive materials such as laminated MDF and melamine, and deliver an optimal edge finish. the superior performance also ensures CNC users the most yield from each sheet of material. each compression router bit is manufactured to Amana’s stringent quality standards.

Frank Misiti, technical director at Amana Tool, said, “Chip out is a common problem when working with laminated MDF, melamine and other abrasive materials. Amana’s compression spiral router bits help furniture makers and other manufacturers overcome this obstacle through innovative tool design and our special-grade carbide that deliver superior performance while saving time and materials.”

Amana’s solid carbide CNC compression spiral router bits are available in diameters ranging from 1/4” to 3/4”. the 1/4” diameter bits (item #46170) start at $40.20 USD; the 1/2” diameter bits (items #46188 and #46190) start at $80.74 USD.

you hold a yard sale, and the season is in full swing. On Saturday many local folks were eagerly scoffing up thousands of dollars worth of generally higher-end material goods from a tax-acquired property on Balsam Road in East Bethel. Items on offer included a full bedroom set, expensive sporting goods, electronic equipment, clothing, kitchen and workshop tool, and piles of mundane (if, in this case, quilted) household necessaries. in addition to the shiny TP stand here, Owen and Debbie Brown left with the Kitchen Aid mixer, Makita power saw, a router, a porch set with four chairs and two stools, and other odds and ends. Total price: $86. Contents that didn’t move at Saturday’s sale will be donated for the Bethel Rotary’s June 25 yard sale and auction. Town Finance Officer Marcia Monk (right) said the yard sale generated over $4,500, with more still coming in as of Wednesday. The house itself (assessed at $287,800) sold by sealed bit for $101,300, and an associated small lot for $8,700. The proceeds will go into the town’s General Fund.

I want to get my hubby something for our Anniversary, and he is a tool/power tool fanatic! In the past I have gotten him a router & all the bits, a hammer drill, last thing I got him was an electric tree trimmer on a pole that reaches up to trim trees. he HAS LOTS of stuff already, but I'm wondering if there is like a "cadallic of tools" that I don't know about that I can surprise him with? your suggestions much appreciated!

A cordless reciprocating saw

Try a radial arm saw. they are expensive and alittle big but it is the saw of all saws.

If he doesn't have it already… a full Dremel set is the most versitile a useful tool out there. Check out the website! No, this isn't an add, just my favorite tool ever!

CNC Router General Overview

Many people say that a CNC Router is the best tool they have in their shop. One of the reasons why is because it is such a versatile machine and it cuts the time it takes to cut and prepare things down.

CNC Routers are machines that work in different directions. They can work in these directions simultaneously to develop patterns and shapes that the operator would take a long time to do by hand. The CNC Router moves along an axis to cut front to back, left to right or up and down.

One of the things that you will have to know as an operator of this machine is basic CAD software because this is what it uses to create the work. it is flexible enough that you can create the program you want at your own PC or through using the computer on the machine.

What you do with the CAD Software is to create files that you can put into the computer to show the Router the exact moves you want it to make. This allows you do pretty much whatever you want with it.

How A CNC Router WorksThe CNC Router is very easy to run once you have the software in place. all you have to do is take the material you are using and place it on the table where you have the machine. You hold it in place and then allow the router to do the work, following the specifications you put into the computer.

You don’t have to worry about getting dust in your lungs because there is a dust hood on the machine that collects any debris or dust that comes off the material so that the air is free of any materials that may be harmful to the individual.

The router has motors that actually help drive the system on its axes to make the cuts in all the directions. The drive system is important to the machine because the better is it the higher the quality you will have in your routing. The CNC router bits are actually controlled by a spindle and these come in several different shapes and sizes like you would find if you were using a power tool with drill bits.

It is important to note that whenever you are operating any machine you have to think about safety first and this is true of using a CNC Router. although the machine comes with guards that can stop your hands from getting hurt while feeding materials, you should also use common sense when operating the machine. there is a system of stop buttons on various parts of the machine as well. However, you should make sure just as an added protection to wear gloves and sound blocking materials to avoid accidents.

The CNC Router is economical too because once you program it you don’t have to watch over it. Instead, you can go do other work or take a break while it does the work for you. it also opens up the chance to do projects that used to require a team of people to do.
