Fine grooves in massive materials thanks to the new nesting shank-type cutters

The expanded diamond-tipped nesting shank-type cutter range Z=2+2 meets the special challenges of MDF and multiplex boards as well as similar wood materials.
The expanded diamond-tipped nesting shank-type cutter range Z=2+2 meets the special challenges of MDF and multiplex boards as well as similar wood materials.

Three new diamond-tipped nesting LEUCO shank-type cutters are especially designed for machining multiplex and MDF panels.
Diamond-tipped, high performance shank-type tools are commonly used for nesting. These triple-tooth cutting tools (Z=3+3) can handle feed speeds of 25 m/min and more for particle boards. However, if very dense or very hard materials are machined, such as MDF or multiplex boards, the situation changes noticeably. The volume of the chip material produced by the cut MDFs increases dramatically, which means that the chip gullet in the tool quickly fills up, thus producing more cutting pressure and friction. This, in turn, generates heat, reduces the tool's edge life and may even cause the loss of teeth.

The new nesting shank-type cutter range from LEUCO featuring double-edge tools is a true problem-solver for such applications.
The number of teeth Z=2+2 leads to an increased gullet volume. This guarantees that chip evacuation goes more smoothly, literally. New additions to the DP nesting cutter product family include tools with 12-mm and 16-mm cutting diameters and cutting lengths for common panel thicknesses.
