    Amana Tool - 1/4" Shank Starter Tool Set

    The most common cutting diameter for end mills on the STEPCRAFT CNC is 1/8".  This size allows you a lot of flexibility for cutting a wide variety of projects.  Amana Tool is known as one of the best cutting tool manufacturers in the world, and we selected our favorite three 1/8" diameter end mills to get your CNC journey started.  This set includes three cutting tools, all with 1/4" shanks.  This shank diameter is compatible with the HF-500 Spindle, MM-1000 and the Kress 800 FME.  The larger shank size creates a more stable tool with less deflection.  Each tool is tapered down to 1/8" cutting diameter.   All three tools feature Amana's Mirror Finish, giving you the cleanest cuts possible.   

    Why the "O" Flute?
    Because a CNC router tends to run at a much higher RPM (10,000-25,000) and at these higher speeds you need fewer flutes to ensure that you have proper chip evacuation.  If you use more flutes then you usually need to run at a slower RPM which is not always possible on a CNC router.  Single "O" flute end mills allow you to run fast with proper chip evacuation.


    The Starter Kit includes the following three tools:

    AMANA TOOL 51454 - Single "O" flute designed for fast, clean cutting of soft metals such as aluminum, brass or copper

    AMANA TOOL 51411 - Single "O" flute designed for clean cutting of plastics like acrylic, Lexan, etc. Leaves a mirror finish with no melting (with proper feed/speed settings)

    AMANA TOOL 46333 (Replaced 46100) - 2 flute Up-Cut designed for clean and fast cutting of hard and soft wood, plywood, MDF and other composites  

    Semi Closed-Loop System™

    The STEPCRAFT M.1400 machine will automatically realign the gantry after each reference run when homing the machine.  The included Semi-Closed Loop System gives you the additional insurance of step monitoring in your CNC system. If the system detects a deviation from predefined steps from any motor, such as in the event of a crash or incorrect settings, the emergency stop is triggered automatically and your workpiece is protected. Then you simply correct the error, reference the machine and continue your job where you left off. 

    Precision Linear Guides

    Every axis of the M.1400 utilizes precision hardened linear guide rails from Bosch Rexroth.  These recirculating ball bearing linear rails provide a high load-bearing capacity, extremely reliable performance with no wear.  A special seal is built into every bearing carriage to protect the linear guide system from dust and debris, giving you a reliable, virtually maintenance-free CNC guide system. German-based Bosch Rexroth is a global leader in the manufacturing of precision ball bearing linear guide systems. Only the finest components are used in the STEPCRAFT M-Series CNC machines which gives you high performance and a very accurate CNC system.

    Highly Stable Frame Profiles

    The frame profiles are one of many areas where STEPCRAFT really excels and is constantly setting new standards with regards to the stability and design of CNC machines.  The custom extruded frame profiles are the result of countless hours of design engineering and testing utilizing the best in CAD/CAM and analysis software.  These design elements create a high force absorption and even distribution of the forces within the axis.  An extremely high torsional stiffness is achieved this way.  The STEPCRAFT frame profiles offer a level of stability that is not possible with steel.

    STRONG DRIVE SYSTEM

    The STEPCRAFT M.1400 works with maximum precision and accuracy and runs quietly and vibration-free thanks to the included HIWIN® ball screws . The powerful NEMA 23 motors drive the CNC controlled machine powerfully through a wide variety of materials.
