Product Description

Two cuts per revolution yield a smooth surface, but feed rate is slightly reduced, #45226, diameter (D): 1/2, cutting Height (B): 1, shank (D): 1/4, overall length (L): 2-1/8, flutes: 2, 45226 carbide Tipped straight plunge high production 1/2 dia x 1 inch x 1/4 shank

From the Manufacturer

Since 1972, Amana Tool has been producing router bits and has become the global leader in its field. In fact, the company was the first manufacturer to produce router bits according to the Holz BG German standard for safety and quality. This standard contains rules that determine the structure and quality of the tool's material in order to create the safest environment for the user. From its beginning, Amana Tool has always used the highest quality materials, and its tools are produced using unique technologies, a majority of which were developed and built by the company's engineers following decades of testing and experience. For example, Amana Tool uses carbon alloy steel for its router bits that contains vanadium particles. This improves the structural integrity of the steel and prevents corrosion and defects in the internal structure of the material that can lead to cracks and breaks. High-tech machinery processes the carbon alloy steel to manufacture the router bodies in a single clamping. This yields router bits with superior balance, centricity, precision and symmetry. The New Generation of Straight Bit Technology! Use a two-flute bit where fine finish is paramount. Two flutes balance the bit, eliminating vibration that degrades the cut finish. Two cuts per revolution yield a smooth surface.

Not exactly what I had in mind for a plunge cutter.
I bought this cutter as I had a need for a shallow, FLAT bottomed relief. As you can see from my picture that it is shallow, not exactly flat bottomed. I only needed to go about the thickness of a dime. This looks like it will plunge further down OK but it will never produce a flat bottom until it is moved.Didn't give it a 1 star because it is sharp and will likely produce some very nice dados and rabbets. Guess I will keep shopping, finished this project with a 1/2" spiral.EDIT (6/12/2010) - OK, my initial review was mostly based on it being advertised as a plunge bit and it obviously was not. Still docking 'em a star for that one.In all other aspects though, it has been a 5 star performer. It is now my "go to" for small rabbetting and dado's. Mostly in plywood and MDF to boot. Has kept a decent edge through that junk mixed into those stocks these days. I have yet to figure out what "in spec" means when it comes to router bits. I suspect it is something like nominal +.000 -some number. This calipered out at .7485, which is glue line territory and more than close enough for me.

Bought this to cut channels for weather stripping in some 60 year wood double hung windows. The windows were pretty neglected. I restored the wood with the BLO-Pentine method and filled in the rotted areas. I won't say it was like a hot knife through warm butter, but it was not far off. No drift or burning. Highly recommend!

The bit cut very well and the diameter was accurate. Beware of router startup torque while the bit is near the stock to be cut; I snapped one bit very easily. The bit is only 1/8 inch in diameter; couple that with a cutting edge leaves little metal to support the bit; as a result the bit can be easily broken.

I use these to cut circular openings in the 3/8" Baltic birch plywood, using Ridgid compact router and Rockler circular cutting jig. To my surprise, I am able to cut the circle in one pass - at full 3/8" depth and highest RPM - without the router bogging down. After a completed cut, the bit is still cool to the touch. The edge quality is very good, needing almost no sanding - see the photo. In fact, this one gives me a better quality than the Whiteside spiral up-cut bit which I also own: the up-cut bit produces some splintering; I haven't tried the down-cut bit though. Subjectively, this Amana bit also moves through the plywood smoother, perhaps having to do something with their "superior geometric" design, but that's up for interpretation.

Considering that it's a little cheaper too, you can't go wrong. All in all, highly recommended.

Está broca para router corta muy bien. Rápido y limpio el corte y el ranurado.
Debo aclarar que solo la he trabajado con fibracel y mdf de 9mm.
Para esos materiales es muy buena y la recomiendo ampliamente (aplica a fresa Amana de 1/8 con vástago de 1/4, doble flauta).
Entregada en dos días. Sólo hizo falta un estuche (cajita de plástico) como las que traen otras fresas para mejor protección.
