What are the different types & sizes ofsolid surface material router cutter? |
||||
Rounding over and bull nose cutters |
||||
Bull nose combination cutters and bull nose cuttersBull nose and bull nose combination cutters can be used to round off the corner of a piece of solid surface to make it more aesthetically pleasing and more comfortable to lean on. Where work surfaces extend past the edge of their supporting structure, the underside of the surface can be given the same radius to create a bull nose. |
||||
Double rounding over cuttersDouble rounding over cutters are configured so that they can round off two edges at the same time, on material up to a maximum thickness of 13mm. |
||||
Roman ogee bowl cuttersThis type of cutter creates not only a rounded corner, but also a bevelled edge for a stylish shape to the edge of an undermount sink or basin (where the worktop extends over the top of the edge of the sink). |
||||
Bearing guided trimmers |
||||
Bearing guided trimmers work in a similar way to trimming and profiling cutters, in that they can level off the edge of a surface that incorporates an inlay or veneer by removing any inlays or overlaps. When working with solid surface materials, a second piece of material is often used to cover the join between the work surface itself and the structure that supports it (usually a cupboard). |
||||
Inlay and overlap trimmers feature tip mounted bearing guides, while trimming cutters have guides located on their shank. |
||||
Waterfall edge cutters |
||||
Dished ogee cuttersDished ogee cutters can be used to create a decorative 'step' around the edge of a work surface, or a raised edge that prevents water spillage. |
||||
Roman ogee bevel cuttersRoman ogee bevel cutters are used for the same purposes as dished ogee cutters, but feature a longer and flatter curve to their cutting edge. |
||||
Waterfall edge cuttersWaterfall edge cutters are used to produce a raised lip around the edges of a work surface. This can create an eye-catching look for a waterfall worktop or counter, or serve a functional purpose in keep water from running off the edges of a kitchen or bathroom surface. |
||||
Corian jointer cutters |
||||
Tongue and groove setsThese cutters are used for joining two pieces of solid surface together in worktop construction, in a similar way to tongue and groove floorboards. |
||||
Wavy cuttersWavy cutters fulfil a similar role to tongue and groove cutters in that they are used when joining two pieces of solid surface together to make a long worktop. The interlocking wavy edges create a greater surface area for adhesive, making for a more secure joint. |
||||
Bevel hob cutter |
||||
is used to shape the edges of worktops once a recess has been cut for a hob or sink. |
||||
Surface trimmer and slitter |
||||
Sink removing cuttersis used when an integrated sink needs to be removed from a solid surface worktop, for renovation or repair. It features a thin cutting blade with guides above and below to assist the user in making an even, consistent cut. |
||||
Six wing trimmerSix wing trimmers are used for levelling work surfaces and trimming bowls. Their flat cutters have the bottom cut facility, meaning they are the ideal tool for removing any unwanted raised areas on a work surface. |
||||
Upstand cutters |
||||
Upstand cutters create an upswept radius that is used to create backsplash panels behind sinks and baths. |
||||
Bevel cutters |
||||
The angled cutting edges of these cutters create a bevel, or slope, on the edge of a Corian work surface. They are available both with and without bearing guides. |
||||
Undercut bevel cuttersUndercut bevel cutters create an 'upside-down' bevel where the part of the slope nearest to you is at the top. This type of bevel cutter is available with or without a shank-mounted guide. |
||||
Face inlay cutters |
||||
Face inlay cutters are used to produce a groove in the edge of a work surface into which a decorative wooden strip can be inserted. |
