Description Description

Mirror-polished upcut spiral bit for acrylic, plastics and wood

This bit is built for clean, smooth edges in acrylic and other plastics, and it cuts wood well too. It’s ground to tight tolerances from a premium carbide grade, then polished to a mirror finish by Amana. The right-hand upcut spiral (right-hand helix, right-hand cut) pulls chips up and out of the cut, which matters with plastics: chips that stay in the cut can melt and fuse back onto the edge.

 

For CNC and automatic-feed machines only. This bit isn’t intended for hand-held routers.

 

Why the mirror finish matters

  • Keeps the cutting edge very sharp
  • Chips slide off instead of sticking, so they’re less likely to re-weld to the cut
  • Runs cooler, which reduces melting in plastics
  • Gives a cleaner finished edge
  • Extends tool life

 

Recommended materials

  • Acrylics: cast and extruded acrylic (PMMA), including Plexiglas®, Lucite® and Perspex®
  • Engineering plastics: acetal/Delrin (POM), nylon, Teflon®, LubX®, polycarbonate (Lexan™)*
  • Polyethylenes and polyolefins: HDPE, LDPE, UHMW, cross-linked PE (PEX/XLPE), TPO, King StarBoard®
  • Sign and display materials: PVC and expanded PVC (Sintra, Fomex®), ABS, HIPS (including print grades), PETG, polystyrene, King ColorCore®
  • Composites and panels: aluminum composite (ACM, Dibond®, Alupanel®), high-pressure laminate (HPL), Trespa® Meteon®, laminate
  • Foams and boards: foam board, Gatorfoam®, HDU and sign foam, urethane
  • Corrugated plastic: Coroplast®, Correx and other polypropylene twinwall
  • Solid surface: Corian®, acrylic stone, epoxy
  • Other: vinyl flooring, hard plastics generally, softwood and hardwood

*For polycarbonate, use the low end of the recommended feed rate range and the shortest bit that will do the job.
