Solutions 8.5 mm grooves in rear panel:
Grooving cutter and shank-type cutter

The DIAMAX 8.5 mm shank-type rear panel cutter with alternating axis angles makes it possible to cut grooves to a finished width dimension of 8.5 mm.
The DIAMAX 8.5 mm shank-type rear panel cutter with alternating axis angles makes it possible to cut grooves to a finished width dimension of 8.5 mm.

8.5 mm wide grooves in a single processing step with best cutting quality in a variety of materials, long edge lives and a pleasantly quiet noise level. The low cutting pressure of the tungsten carbide-tipped g5 system grooving cutter requires less motor power. This means that the grooving cutter can be used on any CNC machine.

It is popular to make grooves in the rear panel oversized to reduce the problems associated with getting rear panels to fit. LEUCO is providing two useful and time-saving solutions for CNC machines: The DIAMAX shank-type rear panel grooving cutter and the g5 system grooving cutter.

DIAMAX shank-type rear panel grooving cutter
The lower positive arrangement of cutting edges promotes good chip transport away from the bottom of the groove, while the upper region with negative cutting edge provides clean cutting of any top layers.
Another often helpful technical detail is the relatively short design of the positive cutting edge, which allows groove depths as shallow as 4.5 mm. The maximum groove depth achievable with the DP shank-type cutter is 14 mm

Grooving saws with an 8.5 mm cutting width for use in grooving units on CNC machine are already relatively widespread. However, if the grooving unit is equipped for a smaller groove width that is required even more frequently, the only option is to produce the 8.5 mm back wall groove with a shank-type cutter.

LEUCO grooving cutter with the g5 system
LEUCO uses the proven G5 toothing on a grooving cutter with a width of 8.5 mm. Thanks to the special tooth geometry and arrangement, the cutting pressure is reduced and, for this reason, also the driving power of the motor. This is why the grooving cutter can be used with motors which are designed to drive grooving cutters of a width of 4 and 5 mm.

Due to the smooth G5 serration of LEUCO, it is possible to produce 8.5 mm wide grooves in a single step also on smaller CNC machines. Using the new g5 saw blade, wide grooves can be produced more quickly. At the same time, the edge life is doubled since the saw blade does only perform one processing step instead of two. Also, in keeping with all saw blades in the g5 system, this grooving cutter only produces a low noise level. This will improve the work environment in the processing plant.

Another advantage of the LEUCO grooving cutter is the high quality of its cutting action. Whether solid wood, plastic or painted surfaces: Perfect for grooves in cabinet showcases or dresser parts for manufacturers of high quality furniture and furniture components.
