The Aluminum Titanium Nitride (AlTiN) coated solid carbide cutting tip is brazed to a steel shank specially designed to cut grooves in composite building materials such as:
*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.
Specially designed router bits are used to route V-grooves in the above materials to allow easy bending without cracking the bent area. Route within 0.8mm from the bottom of the composite panel to achieve a clean bend/radius. 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.
AlTiN coating has many benefits:
- Extra wear resistance
- Allows for faster feed and speed rates
- Cutting edge protected from wear
- Better chip evacuation
- Less heat build up
- Superior cutting quality and extended tool life
