Benefits:

• Cuts 8 mm Baltic birch plywood at 40-50 mm/s @ 40,000 RPM
• 9mm and 12mm tools are available with CloseKerf© flute geometry for unprecedented closeness in rule placement
• 5 flute geometry insures long life, and low deflection at high feed rates
• Fish tail point eliminates backside breakout and splintering
• Variable helix design provides more efficient chip extraction and minimizes top surface fuzz and splintering
• Cutting edge geometry eliminates tearing and pulling, yielding smooth, precise edges and sidewalls
• Our 2 point kerf cutters with a 9 mm depth of cut have been redesigned to meet the varying needs of diemakers working in different areas of the packaging industry
         -The"Low-deflection" bit is optimized to cut at 51-60 mm/s @ 40,000 RPM with less than 0.10 mm tip deflection
         -The "Close-kerf" tool has been designed to allow rule placement on 2.54 mm centers (8 mm Baltic birch plywood) with a tip deflection of less than 0.10 mm while cutting at 95 to 40-46 mm/s @ 40,000 RPM
  Both tools retain the long life and superior debris removal that are the hallmarks of this family of tools

Applications:

• Cutting kerf slots in steel-rule die-boards
• Clean-up cutter for fine inlay pocket finishing
