Amana Tool 45210 Carbide Tipped Straight Plunge Router Bit – 1/4 Dia x 1 Inch, 2 Flutes, High Production

Overview

The Amana Tool 45210 Carbide Tipped Straight Plunge router bit is designed for high production work where a fine finish matters. The two-flute geometry is tuned to balance the cutter and reduce vibration, helping cuts stay smooth and controlled during plunging and profiling tasks.

With two cuts per revolution, the bit tends to deliver a refined surface, while the feed rate remains measured to maintain edge quality. This makes it a versatile choice for edge work, inlays, cabinetry components, and other precision routing tasks where cleanliness of the cut matters.

Material and Manufacturing Quality

Constructed from carbon alloy steel containing vanadium particles, this router bit benefits from enhanced structural integrity and corrosion resistance. Amana Tool uses advanced machining to form router bodies in a single clamping, delivering superior balance, centricity, precision, and symmetry in every bit.

Technology and Safety Standards

Amana Tool has been a global leader since 1972 and was among the first to produce router bits under the Holz BG safety and quality standard. This background emphasizes consistency of materials and manufacturing quality that support reliable performance.

Specifications

• Diameter: 1/4 inch
• Cutting height: 1 inch
• Shank: 1/4 inch
• Overall length: 2-1/4 inches
