Compact diagonal cutters for plastic and other soft materials

Why special diagonal cutters for plastic are necessary

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 moulded parts and sprues, however, in order to create as little finishing work as possible when deburring. Diagonal cutters used here must not have any bevel towards the component to create a straight cut surface. The Knipex diagonal cutters have been specially developed for plastics and other soft materials. Their cutting edges are surface ground.

For flush deburring after injection moulding

The Knipex diagonal cutters are used when moulded parts need to be mechanically separated from sprue after demoulding. Their surface ground cutting faces produce a clean, flush separation. The sprue is cut off directly on the moulded part, because the cutting edge runs flat on the component.

With opening spring to relieve strain on the user - compact and stable

In many cases, work steps in production processes such as plastic injection moulding repeat. Users who frequently separate sprues from moulded parts therefore appreciate the opening spring on the compact diagonal cutter. At 140 mm long and weighing 125 g, the Knipex diagonal cutters for plastics are pleasantly compact - but still stable. We forge the diagonal cutters from vanadium electric steel and give them high strength by heating and then quenching them in oil.
