Main Product Description
The Amana Tool RCK-402 is an authentic solid carbide replacement straight plunge engraving insert knife engineered for the comprehensive In-Groove™ CNC Insert Engraving System. This tool provides industrial-grade performance with a clean 3/16-inch cutting width and a verified 6mm (15/64") cutting height, keeping your detailed line work sharp and structurally rigid under production parameters.
Manufactured entirely from premium micrograin solid carbide, this replacement insert outlasts standard solid carbide bits by at least double the tool life cycle. The straight plunge configuration is expertly ground to optimize tracking stability, delivering excellent engraving depth control, etching fidelity, and structural accuracy across modern CNC platforms.
The In-Groove™ system allows production operators to quickly swap out knives directly inside the machine spindle without disturbing established indexing datums, minimizing downtime. This knife is rated for an official plunge feed index of 80 inches per minute, eliminating step-down vibration on fine-etched applications.

Product Highlights
Extended Tool Life
Premium industrial micrograin solid carbide produces crisp, clean detailing lines and lasts twice as long as standard router bits.
Vibration Dampened
Precision-milled tracking flats fit firmly into In-Groove™ tool bodies to absorb radial loads and maintain tight engraving tolerances.
Compatibility & Installation Notes
This product is a replacement insert knife component only; it does not feature an integral shank. It must be paired with an official Amana Tool In-Groove™ tool body (RC-1075, RC-1076, RC-1077, or RC-1078) to function. Ensure that the tool pocket is entirely cleared of chips, dust, and particulate before torquing the retention screws to safeguard alignment accuracy and prevent fracture risk during plunge cycles.
Engineered For Precision
Amana Tool RCK-402 satisfies the absolute operational criteria required for commercial architectural lettering, corporate signmaking, detailed engraving, and substrate component etching. Standardize your shop floor production around the highly versatile In-Groove™ platform to realize maximum operational uptime and pristine finish metrics across every panel run.
