Partwell Group’s quality Kerf Cutters are manufactured from solid submicrograin carbide material. Kerf Cutters are suitable for cutting Kerf slots in steel rule die boards and also cleaning up the cutter for fine inlay pocket finishing.
Benefits of Partwell Kerf Cutters
- 5 flute geometry which will ensure long life.
- Low deflection tools even at high feed rates.
- The cutting edge geometry removes any tearing and pulling, for a smooth and precise edge finish.
- Variable curved design provides more efficient chip extraction and minimises top surface fuzz and splintering.
- The fish tail point of our Kerf Cutters eliminates backside breakout and splintering of the plywood.
