Knipex Diagonal Cutter with Spring 180mm 72 01 180

Knipex Diagonal Cutter with Spring 180mm

The cutting edges of classic diagonal cutters are ground to produce a wedge-shaped cut towards the centre of the cut product. Wedge-shaped cuts as on wire would be a hindrance when deburring plastic, however. A flush cut that is as smooth as possible is needed when separating moulded parts and sprues, in order to create the least finishing work when deburring.

Diagonal cutters used here must not have any bevel towards the component, in order to create a straight cut surface. The Knipex 72 01 180 diagonal cutters have been specially developed for plastics and other soft materials. Their cutting edges are surface ground.

The Knipex 72 01 180 is used in plastics production when, for example, larger plastic moulded parts need to be mechanically separated from sprue after demoulding. The surface ground cutting faces permit the clean, flush disconnection of extruded plastic injection moulds and sprues or sprue residues. The sprue is cut off directly on the moulded part, because the cutting edge runs parallel to the component.

In many cases, work steps in plastic injection moulding and other production processes repeat. Anyone who frequently separates sprues from moulded parts therefore appreciates the opening spring on the Knipex 72 01 180. At 180 mm long and weighing 193 g, the Knipex diagonal cutters for plastics are ideal for workstations in industrial production. They are designed for many years of hard use. We forge the 72 01 180 diagonal cutters from vanadium electric steel. We give them their high strength by heating and then quenching them in oil.
