Diagonal cutter for plastics with flush-ground cutting faces and opening spring, 140 mm - Knipex 72 01 140

Sprue remains on injection-moulded parts must not stand proud, otherwise the part does not fit its seat and has to be reworked. The 72 01 140 diagonal cutter has flush-ground cutting faces and therefore separates plastic level with the surface, at 140 mm length and 120 g weight.

Benefits

• Flush-ground cutting faces separate moulded plastic parts and sprues level with the surface, so reworking is usually unnecessary.
• Soft materials such as lead are cut off smoothly instead of being crushed.
• The opening spring returns the pliers to the starting position after every cut, which saves hand movements in repetitive work.
• Compact build at 140 mm length and 120 g weight, low fatigue even during long runs at the bench.
• Polished head and handles covered with plastic.

Areas of use

Plastics processing and injection moulding finishing, model making, assembly and final inspection. The cutter suits every place where gate marks have to disappear cleanly and without a burr, and it also handles soft metals such as lead.
