Bohler Plast-X Cutting Rule

New Bohler cutting rule for plastic applications

Trouble free die cutting of PET and other plastic products requires the use of cutting rules with special properties. The main criteria are wear resistance, cutting edge sharpness and optimal cutting quality, along with the standard criteria for all cutting rules – good bendability, low cutting force and long tool life.
