Diagonal cutter for plastics with flush-ground cutting faces, 25 percent more cutting power, 160 mm - Knipex 72 01 160

When deburring injection-moulded parts, no stub may be left standing or the component will not seat in its fixture. The 72 01 160 diagonal cutter has flush-ground cutting faces and separates plastic parts and sprue remnants level with the surface.

Benefits

• Flush-ground cutting faces separate moulded plastic parts and sprue remnants level with the surface, so no rework is needed.
• Cuts soft materials such as lead smoothly, which widens the use beyond plastics.
• Improved transmission ratio delivers 25 percent more cutting power, so less hand force is required.
• Opening spring returns the cutter to its starting position after every cut, which speeds up repetitive work.
• Polished head and plastic-coated handles give a secure grip, 164 g in weight and 160 mm long.

Areas of use

Plastics processing and injection moulding, model and tool making, assembly of plastic components and work on soft metals such as lead. It is not intended for hard wire, which is the job of diagonal cutters with bevelled edges.
