Hello- I just purchased an Amana 1/16 downcut bit (46237-k). I want to add this bit to my library. Can anyone screen shot the cutter info. for this tool? Thank you.
Please note that the Amana feeds and speeds are intended for heavy-duty industrial machines — you will probably want to at least consider the feeds and speeds we have for the similar #112.

Yes- I saw that as well. Trying to make sense of it.
Yes, I will do that. Thank you. I have the 112 bit but when I use the up cut, it really makes a mess on the surface
Yup, the downcut bits are a necessity to maintain a clean cut top surface. But you do have to be more careful with your DOC & how the chips do not get lifted out by the bit as it’s cutting - especially if you’re making a slot & it gets deeper. The chips tends to get packed into the cut volume and can cause lost steps if you’re cutting too aggressively. Compression bits are a bit better as the end of the bit is usually upcut, but they still pack the chips into the slot.
