This 3D adapter is a versatile device used for making compound curves by inserting the adapter over any 1/4" shank router bit. By making it as an adapter and not a solid tool, the system becomes much more flexible as well as cost effective.
Insert adapter over any tool with 1/4" shank up to the maximum diameter of the adapter. For example, tool no. 55112 will fit all tools with up to a 1" cutting diameter. The cutting length is adjustable and is limitless to shapes and tools this adapter may be used for.
The adapters were made with 1/2" shank and they can be used in routers with a recommended maximum RPM of 18,000.
Additionally, this tool can also be used for small jobs with a drill machine (when one doesn't have a router). In this case, the outer ring, which revolves against the tool, serves as a small "router table". For this application, Amana recommends a minimum of 3,000 RPM.
Tool comes with 2 Allen Keys.
5009 – 1/8” Allen Key for the screw on the side.
5003 – 5/32” Allen Key
Use to set screw M8" inside the shank of the tool.
This screw makes it easier to adjust the length accurately and safely.
You need an Allen key – 5/32" (Amana #5003) to adjust the required length of the shank. Only then, you can tighten the set screw that holds the tool from the side.
This adapter can be used with Amana Tool® corner rounding bit #'s 49492, 49496, 49499, 49500 and 49504.
