The company stated “To obtain this width previously, a 5mm grooving cutter and two passes have often been necessary. The new grooving cutters from Leuco can speed up the grooving process and double the edge life of the tool.”
With Leuco’s smooth ‘g5-System’ it is possible to produce 8.5mm wide grooves in a single step even on smaller CNC machines, this way the edge life is doubled compared to using a narrower blade and making two cuts.
The tooth geometry and arrangement reduces the cutting pressure and also the required driving power of the motor. Hence the grooving cutter can also be used with motors which were previously restricted to 4mm or 5mm cutters.
The company’s statement continued: “Another benefit of the new grooving cutter is the excellent cutting quality. Solid wood, plastics or varnished surfaces: the grouped profile consisting of 5 teeth each is able to saw wood even with hard or sensitive coatings. This is perfect for grooves in cabinet parts or for the manufacture of high-quality furniture or furniture parts.”
Leuco has it head quarters in Herford, Germany with offices all over the world, including the UK.
