Solid Carbide Spektra™ Extreme Tool Life Coated Spiral Plunge 1/2 Diameter x 1-1/2 x 1/2 Inch Shank Down-Cut, 3-Flute

Overview

Great for production settings and excellent for creating grooves and dado cuts in softwood, hardwood, plywood, and composite materials. 'Down-Cut' spiral. Three-flute design for very high-quality finish.

Benefits of Mirror-Finish:

• Razor-sharp cutting edge
• Effortless chip removal
• Helps prevent chip re-welding
• Extends tool life
• Exceptional cut quality
• Dissipates heat well and
  prevents melting

Our Spektra™ bits feature a nACo® nanocomposite coating with an extreme nanohardness and heat resistance. With a brilliant distinctively-tinted coloring nACo provides additional improvements in four critical aspects of router tooling.

• nACo coating is a micro-thin ceramic coating which enables the tool's cutting edge to retain crucial sharpness and lubricity. This provides longevity and produces cutting results of the highest quality.
• Coating prevents high heat and oxidation which is detrimental to cutting tool performance.
• Multi-colored hues, while attractive, will dissipate upon use, and yet coating will remain fully effective.
• nACo offers approximately 4,500 Vickers for impressive solid hardness on cutting areas of the tool, for an increase up to 2.5 times compared to uncoated bits.

Note: Blue-based color dissipates immediately upon use. nACo® nanocomposite coating will not wear off.

Recommended RPM 20,000-21,000.
