Variable angle cutterhead Variable bevel angle in all working materials

Perfect cutting results in different materials
Unrivalled easy, flexible and safe

Whether industrial or bespoke production, joining and beveling with different bevel angles represents one of the central challenges with regard to the available equipment, different materials, profiles and quality requirements. The Leitz variable angle cutterhead system offers individual advantages for every company size and thus helps to achieve a clear production and quality. The system is not only flexible and sustainable, but also improves production efficiency.

Flexibility
Adjustable in use

Suitable for various materials from solid wood to wood derived materials and plastics
Can be used on machines with manual feed, throughfeed machines and CNC machining centres

Efficiency
Economical in every respect

Excellent cutting results and long tool life due to optimized cutting materials
High cutting speed through intelligent tool design
No reworking required due to extremely sharp cutting edges
Fast and accurate knife change without setting gauges

Sustainability
A benefit for user and environment

Long tool life and thus lower tool costs thanks to steel tool body and hardened clamping elements
Reduced noise through noise-optimized design
