BIG KAISER Precision Tooling Inc. (Hoffman Estates, IL) introduces a series of new micro engraving cutters developed and built by their partner Sphinx Tooling Ltd. (Derendingen, Switzerland). Building on Sphinx’s micro tooling expertise, including their renowned line of micro drills, these solid carbide engraving cutters’ sharp, positive cutting geometry promotes burr-free surface finishes and smooth transitions.
The engravers come standard with a Ø3 mm shank and are available in a variety of angles (30 deg/ 40 deg/ 50 deg/ 60 deg/ 90 deg) and in two possible point geometries — flat or radius tipped. The radius cutters range from .0016 in to .0039 in (.04 mm to .10 mm) and the flats range from .0008 in to .0059 in (.02 mm to .15 mm). The micro engraver is appropriate for work in most materials ranging from alloyed and unalloyed steels to thermosetting plastics and even titanium. They are an excellent addition to BIG KAISER’s existing micro cutting tool lineup of pilot/spotting, high performance, drill reamers, deep-hole and end mills from Sphinx.
