Farmingdale, N.Y. – June 24, 2008 – Amana Tool, manufacturers of high-quality tungsten carbide woodworking tools, today announced its new RC-2252 insert spoilboard router bit with scorers that features a 2 + 2 knife design.  The unique 2 + 2 design contains two cutting flutes and two up-shear scorers, which provide a smoother finish at the bottom of the cut.  The RC-2252 is ideal for spoilboard, planing and rabbeting large surface areas in MDF, Balsa Core, hardwood, softwood and all man-made materials.

The RC-2252 router bit is engineered from an Amana-exclusive carbide grade that is designed for the highest quality of cut, maximum cutting efficiency and the longest tool life.  Featuring insert knives with four cutting edges that allow users to flip the knife over when one side becomes dull, the industrial router bit is available in 3/4" shank size with the highest-quality grind finish available on woodworking tools.

“The RC-2252 router bit provides woodworking professionals with a faster material removal process and smoother finish than traditional two-knife router designs,” said Eitan Spiegel, president of Amana Tool.  “Amana strives to provide our customers with the highest-quality tools that make projects more economical and less labor-intensive while producing superior results.”

Using the RC-2252 and Amana’s 45200 straight plunge router bit, industrial woodworkers can now economically produce Shaker-style doors from MDF.  Typical Shaker doors are constructed of a wood panel surrounded by a four-piece stile and rail frame.  Creating the door from MDF requires routing the center panel to achieve the recessed look of a Shaker door and eliminates the parts, alignment and assembly normally required.  MDF doors won’t warp, making them ideal for use in humid climates and rooms such as the kitchen and bathroom.

The RC-2252 is available immediately for $211 street price, lists for $234 at authorized distributors. For the location nearest you, visit www.amanatool.com.
