    FAQ's

    What is the cut off process?

    There are several types of cut off processes, depending on the requirements of the end product or material used.

    The most common cutting off process is shearing, or die-cutting. This operation uses force to press a blade against the workpiece, cutting it; this is usually an automated and quick action.

    Waterjet cutting is another operation which does not use heat, but pressure, to cut a material; with waterjet cutting, water mixed with an abrasive media cuts the material. Waterjet cutting is largely CNC programmed for increased levels of high accuracy.

    Heat can also be used within cutting processes. For instance, laser cutting and plasma cutting both use a concentrated heat source to cut away at the material, but can face limitations at higher material thicknesses. Electrical discharge machining moreover uses heat to cut through metal, using electrical discharge to erode the material.

    What are cut off tools?

    Cutting tools are used in manufacturing to produce a desired shape or form on a workpiece. The type of cutting tool used depends on the material being cut and the desired surface finish.

    Traditional cutting tools can be broken down into two main categories: single point and multi-point. Single point cutting tools use only one cutting point, whilst multi-point cutting tools use multiple edges.

    Single point cutting tools are available in a variety of shapes, including reamers and bores. Multi-point cutting tools include drills and grinding wheels, amongst a host of other tooling.

    Shears and cut off dies are moveover used for cut off operations.
