SINGLE BLADE, TANGENTIAL CUTTING UNIT - TOOL HEADS

Our heavy-duty, single tool, tangential head was originally developed for cutting polycarbonate roofing sheet up to 25 mm (1 inch) thick. It can now handle newer multi-layer polycarbonate sheeting up to 50 mm (2 inches) thick. The tool head revolutionized the cutting of polycarbonate as unlike grinding wheels or reciprocating blades it generates almost no swarf and no dust. However it’s not just for polycarbonate – clients have used this tool head to deal with a range of other materials, including PVC and sticky-backed plastic. The tangential cutting unit can be fitted with a fixed drag blade and a ‘pizza’ wheel (rotary) knife. We have also developed a speciality blade, designed to control the depth of the cut very precisely.
