CNC CUTTING WITH YOUR CNC ROUTER
DRAG KNIFE OR TANGENTIAL KNIFE - THE BEST CNC KNIFE 2022
Turn your CNC machine into a plotter, cutting plotter or cutting machine! With the Drag Knife, the Heavy Duty Drag Knife and the OTK-3 we offer three different tools for CNC cutting in our CNC shop. From vinyl to cork to carpet and leather, you can use them to CNC cut a wide variety of materials on your CNC milling machine. We show you which CNC cutting tool is best suited for your project.
DRAG KNIFE
- For CNC cutting of thin and fine materials (e.g. sticker cutting)
- For vinyl cutting, when cutting only up to carrier foil
- When used with WinPC-NC also direct processing of vector data with radius correction possible
- Very easy installation, no change in machine profile neccessary
DRAG KNIFE HEAVY DUTY
- For rough contours
- For rough cuts in harder materials
- Radius correction possible up to material thickness < 1 mm with WinPC-NC (only vector data), above it should be done in CAM
- Very easy installation, no change in machine profile neccessary
TANGENTIAL KNIFE OTK-3
- Very tight radii possible
- Very precise
- Suitable for CNC cutting through materials
- Precise alignment of 4th axis in machine profile necessary
- Creasing Wheel mountable to score solid or corrugated cardboard
- Downholder adapter available
- For precise cuts in thicker materials
BIRTHDAY CARD AND CAR FLOOR MAT
Whether Drag Knife, Tangential Knife or Heavy Duty Drag Knife, CNC cutting is simple, precise and super fast. The CNC tool is either clamped directly in the 43 mm holder or mounted in a corresponding adapter or collet. Materials such as thin vinyl, cork, rubber or even cardboard are perfect for CNC cutting. They can be secured on your CNC machine with painter’s tape, double-sided adhesive tape or the vacuum table. This allows you to produce the most different things on your CNC router machine.
