KNIPEX Side45 Diagonal Cutter Pliers PVC | 160mm

Description

Diagonal cutters for plastics.

The Knipex Side45 Diagonal Cutter Pliers 7211160SB cuts soft materials such as lead in a flush cut.

When working with plastics, special diagonal cutters are necessary due to the unique requirements of cutting and deburring plastic moulded parts. Unlike wire cutters, which have bevels on the cutting edges that produce a wedge-shaped cut, diagonal cutters for plastics need to make a flush, smooth cut to minimize finishing work.

Consequently, the Knipex 72 11 160 diagonal cutters are designed with surface-ground cutting edges that run parallel to the component, allowing for a straight cut surface. Moreover, the cutting edges are angled at 45°, enabling efficient deburring in poorly accessible areas.

Furthermore, the Knipex Side45 Diagonal Cutter Pliers 7211160SB is specifically used in plastics production to mechanically separate moulded parts from sprues after demoulding. As a result, it provides a clean, flush disconnection of extruded plastic injection moulds and sprues, even in difficult-to-reach areas.

In addition, the opening spring on the Knipex 72 11 160 relieves strain on the user by saving an extra hand movement. Thus making it particularly useful for repetitive tasks. Moreover, the compact and stable design of these cutters, combined with their durability and high-strength construction from vanadium electric steel, ensures they can withstand heavy use in industrial settings.
