Cutter for CEVISA machines CHP6, CHP12, CHP12

Re-groundable cutter intended for regular steel

Rotary shear machining tools are designed for materials with a maximum strength of 60 kg/mm². Under ideal conditions described in the user manual, these tools can last up to 4,000 meters (13,123 feet). However, in practice, their lifespan is typically between 2,000 to 3,000 meters (6,561 - 9,842 feet). Several factors influence the tool's durability:

Material properties and preparation:

The material's strength should not exceed the specified limit. Using materials that are too strong can quickly wear out the tool or damage the machine. If the material is cut by burning (e.g., plasma cutting) before beveling, the edges may harden. It's recommended to smooth these edges with an angle grinder to prevent premature tool wear.

Care for tool

Proper maintenance and care play a vital role in extending the tool's useful life. Regular upkeep is essential for optimal performance and longevity.

During the beveling process, it's important to frequently assess the tool's sharpness. If you notice any dullness, sharpen the tool immediately. Continuing to work with a blunt tool can lead to chipping or complete destruction of the tool.

Working procedure

Following the correct machining procedure is crucial. Detailed instructions can be found in the tool's manual, which should be consulted regularly.

When attempting to achieve maximum possible reductions in bevel edge width, it's necessary to divide the machining process into two separate cuts. For a comprehensive explanation of this technique and other important procedures, refer to the machine's user manual.
