A profile cutter is a specialized tool used for cutting solid wood, veneer, and plastic. Polished cutting surface and precise clearance angle. Straight cutter shaft.
Types of profile cutter
1. Router bits:
- Designed for use with router bits (stationary woodworking machines).
- Typically larger and more robust than router bits.
- Used for heavy-duty profiling tasks, such as creating raised panels or moldings.
2. Tungsten carbide profile cutters:
- Made of tungsten carbide and used for cutting hard materials such as metals, composites, and engineered wood.
- Commonly used in industrial applications.
3. High-speed steel profile cutters:
- Made of high-speed steel and used for general-purpose cutting.
- Suitable for softer materials such as wood and plastic.
Key features of profile cutter
1. Material:
- Carbide tip: Durable and long-lasting, ideal for hardwoods and abrasives.
2. Shank size:
- Larger shanks provide more stability and less vibration.
3. Cutting Diameter:
- The diameter of the cutter determines the size of the profile it can create.
- Larger diameters are used for heavy-duty tasks; smaller diameters are used for fine work.
4. Bearing Guides:
- Many profile cutters contain ball bearings that guide the cutter along the workpiece.
- The bearings ensure consistent and precise cuts.
Applications of Profile Cutter
Woodworking:
- Create decorative edges on furniture, cabinets, and trim.
- Produce raised panels, moldings, and door frames.
