Silberschnitt® Cutmaster® for Especially High Quality Cutting Edges

For 85 years Bohle has been engaged in the development and production of top quality cutting wheels for glass. At GlassBuild 2009 Bohle America, Inc. now presents a cutting wheel which is equally suitable for practically every field of application in automatic and manual glass cutting. The innovative cutting wheels of the Cutmaster® Platinum series were specially developed by Bohle to meet the demands of both the industry and craftsmen for premium edge quality, a maximum of processing stability and the best possible service life.

The All-Round Talent

Due to their special micro-structure, which features a continuously sharp cutting edge these wheels achieve excellent cutting results with minimal cutting pressure, especially when cutting high quality thin glass, optical filters and quartz glass.

In extensive tests, excellent results have also been achieved with borosilicate glass and ceramic glass (Ceran, NeoCeran, Robax) in various thicknesses. Furthermore, float glass as well as glass tubes can be precisely cut with the Cutmaster® Platinum. With many different versions available, this cutting wheel is suitable to cut glass starting from a thickness of 0.1 mm.

What effects does the micro-structure have?

The micro-structure allows tensions to be transmitted into the glass with minimal cutting pressure, resulting in a very easy break of the glass. Due to the structure of the cutting edge, the cutting wheel penetrates as notches into the glass compared to standard wheels which score the glass along their whole circumference. As a result, micro-openings of the fissure are produced precisely in the cutting direction. Accompanying cracks and damages deviating from the score line are effectively avoided and edge damages reduced to a minimum.

Also ideal for dry cutting

In addition to the universal application fields, the Cutmaster Platinum® wheels are also ideal for dry cutting – avoiding any soiling from cutting fluids and the resulting time-consuming cleaning. Cutmaster® Platinum can be used in all common cutting lines – easily mounted and exchanged with the quick exchange system of Bohle. For standard requirements, carbide wheels are available – an even longer service life is achieved with wheels made of PCD.

Silberschnitt® Cutmaster® Platinum Manual Glass Cutter

The new manual glass cutter in the Bohle America range is equipped with the innovative Cutmaster Platinum microstructure cutting wheel and designed for use in the varied application field of hand-cut, high-quality glass items. Borosilicate glass, glass ceramics (Ceran, NeoCeran, Robax), silica glass, as well as opalines and thin glass can now be cut at the lowest cutting pressures. The result: top-quality edge properties and stability. The improved cutting quality is based on the microstructure, which helps to significantly reduce the cutting pressure and splintering. These cutter are available with 125° and 138° angle cutting wheel.
