Sizing & Grooving: Leitz has the right shank tools for every material and application. Marathon cutters for solid wood and plywood, turnblade tools for constant diameter work up to PCD tools for chip and fibre materials or abrasive composite materials. Single, double or triple-edged tools for optimum adaptation to the required machining quality, application rate and batch size.
Jointing, Rebating and Bevelling: Precise jointing of workpieces for subsequent operations such as edgebanding or corner joints are important machining tasks on CNC machining centers. Here it is the machining quality and its accuracy that are most important. Adjusted tool solutions for chip and fibre materials as well as for solid wood and plywood are the prerequisites for excellent machining results. Highlights from the Leitz range, such as WhisperCut or HeliCut, are used in these scenarios and impressively demonstrate their respective strengths.
Face Milling and Finishing: In addition to the increasing use of the 'nesting' process, shank tools are becoming more and more important for face milling, finishing and folding. For example, when the support panels located between the machine grid table and the workpiece are reconditioned and recalibrated from time to time in order to obtain a clean and even support surface.
Profiling: Whether framed doors are made of solid wood, panels or MDF fronts, profile shank tools are also used in furniture production, and again must provide the highest quality. In order to minimize reworking, the right tool and its design are essential. For these challenging applications, Leitz offers the ProfilCut Q tool system and the optional RipTec system; an excellent solution for processing solid wood along and across the grain with the highest finish quality. MDF furniture fronts are also nested directly from large raw panels with Leitz PCD profile shank cutters, producing the highest quality, while at the same time minimizing processing time.
Portable Routers: The variety of tools for routers is immense. Leitz offers a comprehensive selection of premium quality tools for this type of manual cutting. Grooving cutters, edge trimming cutters, radii, rounding and bevelling cutters are just a few examples of the extensive range which are optimized for use on portable routers and manufactured with cutting edges made from high-quality carbide. The tool program is supplemented by boring tools to produce hole rows or holes for furniture hinges.
