Bevel Mate® Version 3.0 radius cutters are available in 2mm, 3mm, 4mm,5mm, 6mm and 8mm radiuses.
Bevel Mate® Version 3.0 radius cutter heads also offer an environmental advantage when compared with abrasive discs which would traditional be used for these applications. Using abrasive discs produces a very fine dust which is then emitted into the workplace resulting in a dusty and unhealthy working environment. The metal chips removed by radius cutter heads are much heavier in comparison and fall directly to the ground as metal chips.
The cut on the radius cutter heads is designed to cut through the metal in such a way that it produces far less vibration and noise when compared with working with abrasive discs or machines with carbide inserts. The latter have a far less efficient cutting action and tend to chop the edge off rather than cut it.
Unlike other solutions which need you to make additional adjustments to the machine, all you need to do with the Bevel Mate® cutter heads are change the cutter and bearing, which makes the Bevel Mate® cutter head solution unique. Switching between different radiuses with the Bevel Mite cutters can be achieved within seconds.
Due to the cutting action of Bevel Mate radius cutter heads, they give the advantage that minimal heat is generated to the material to be machined. Therefore, there is less chance of deformation of the metal and no discoloration of the machined cutting edge.
With every new Bevel Mate® version 3.0 radius cutter head, you also receive a replacement guide bearing. The diameter of the guide bearing is 22mm allowing it to be used to radius holes as small as 22 mm in diameter.
