Review on Amana Tool RC1142 V Groove Insert by Andy Tunes

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Too heavy for small CNC router

I'm sure it's a great router like all Amana routers but as a tool it doesn't make sense. If you have a large CNC that can use a 1/2" collet I'm sure it will work fine, but they make this tool with a 1/2" collet so you can use those as well . If you have a smaller CNC that uses a Makita, Dewalt, or Bosch router and includes a 1/4" collet, it will hold that router but will shake your car, lose steps, and sound like it will Your car is about to do it will break up. Maybe a small Techno CNC machine or a welded steel rack and pinion machine can handle it, but if you have an aluminum extrusion machine driven by V-wheels on the profiles with a belt or Acme worm, I do not recommend buying these very expensive routers. However, a small 90 degree cutter with a square rotating blade works well but cannot cut deeper than about 0.4 inch.
