These bits are widely used as cladding for many diverse applications such as office buildings, hospitals, convention centers, airports, hotels. Routing V-shaped grooves, whereby the aluminum cover and a part of the polyethylene core is removed, allows folding/creasing the remaining material by hand.
If you’re looking for the ultimate in tooling, you’ve found it! Amana Tool®'s PCD tipped Double Edge Folding V-Groove router for shaping Aluminum Composite Material (ACM) panels bits will cut, score and groove a wide variety of tough, abrasive materials including composites, Aluminum, MDF (both raw or with melamine), Fiberglass and hardwoods. The cutting edge lasts much longer than carbide for extremely long life. Depending on the material being cut, PCD tooling has been known to out perform a carbide tool by a ratio of 300:1. However, to be conservative in your buying decision, we suggest you base your expectations on 25:1 ratio over carbide tooling.
Excellent for scoring:
- Composite panels
- Custom composite materials
- Fiberglass
- Fiberglass PCB board
- Fiber-reinforced urethane
- Fiber-reinforced structural foam floors
- Lightweight composites
- MDF
- Plywood
- Plastic
- Hard and soft wood
*Aluminum Composite Panel (ACP) is a type of ACM flat panel that consists of two thin aluminium sheets bonded to a non-aluminium core and is widely used as cladding for many diverse applications such as interior and exterior office buildings, external cladding or facades of buildings, hospitals, convention centers, airports, hotels, insulation and signage. **Durabond is a polyethylene core with 0.3mm colored aluminum sheet on either side, pre-finished requiring no decoration. Routing V-shaped grooves, whereby the aluminum cover and a part of the polyethylene core is removed, allows folding the remaining material by hand. Ideal for wall panel fabrication.
