DME GATE CUTTERS A Cut Above The Rest
Selecting the Correct Gate Cutter for Your Application: To ensure a quality finished product, it is important to choose the proper gate cutter. Consider the following when selecting a cutter... • Contour of the back of the blade • Blade length
• Blade opening • Handle length The blade characteristics should match the part at the area of de-gating. Blade Contour Flat Face: For general purpose cutting where the sprue is fully accessible or proud of the cutting surface.
Nipper Type (slightly rounded): For sprue cutting where access to the sprue may be slightly recessed Angle Heads: For recessed sprue cutting and access to internal cavities.
Convex/Concave: For special applications where the sprue is recessed.
Blade Stop When cutting hard or brittle material it is recommended to use a cutter with a blade stop. Adjusting the stop so the blades stop short of hitting each other will extend the life of the blades. Handles How much pressure an operator must exert when cutting a sprue or gate is determined by the length of the cutter handle. A handle that is too long for the operator's hand is difficult to grip while a handle that is too short causes excessive strain. Match the cutter with the operator's hand and the sprue being cut. Ergonomic handles are an effective way to reduce operator fatigue and decrease the risk of carpal tunnel syndrome. Have a left handed operator? We have left handed gate cutters.
