    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  

    STRONG DRIVE SYSTEM

    The STEPCRAFT M.1400 works with maximum precision and accuracy and runs quietly and vibration-free thanks to the use of HIWIN® ball screws . The powerful 4A NEMA 23 motors drive the CNC controlled machine powerfully through a wide variety of materials.

    HIWIN® BALL SCREWS

    • Can optionally be used instead of standard igus® dryspin threaded spindles
    • They offer smoother and more precise movement of the CNC
    • Balls roll between the threaded spindle and nut via the ball return system in an endless loop with zero backlash
    • Suggested for applications where maximum precision and accuracy are needed
