Knipex Diagonal Cutter for Plastics Coated Handle 160mm

The cutting edges of diagonal cutters used for wire are ground to produce a wedge-shaped cut towards the centre of the cut product. This wedge ultimately splits the cut material apart. and the wire ends separated in this way have wedge-shaped cut surfaces. A flush. smooth cut is desired when separating molded parts and sprues. in order to create the least finishing work when deburring. Diagonal cutters used here must not have any bevel so as to create a straight cut surface. The Knipex 72 01 160 diagonal cutters have been specially developed for plastics and other soft materials. Their cutting edges are surface ground. The Knipex 72 01 160 is used in plastics production when. for example. plastic molded parts need to be mechanically separated from sprue after demoulding. The surface ground cutting faces permit the clean. flush disconnection of extruded plastic injection moulds and sprues or sprue residues. The sprue is cut off directly on the molded part. because the cutting edge runs parallel to the component.
