Innovative Cutting Wheel with Micro-Structure Cutmaster Platinum gives glass cutters the edge

Bohle is one of the world’s leading innovators of cutting tools and equipment for the glass processing industry, having developed its expertise over more than 90 years.

And from this expertise the innovative cutting wheels of the Cutmaster Platinum® series were specially developed by Bohle to meet the increasing demands of the glass industry – and its customers - for premium edge quality in a range of applications.

Due to a special Bohle Micro-Structure, which features a continuously sharp cutting edge, Cutmaster Platinum® wheels achieve excellent results with minimal cutting pressure, especially when cutting high quality thin glass, optical filters and quartz glass. Glass as thin as 0.1mm may be cut with complete accuracy, with a wide range of wheel specifications available for precise matching to the task.

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 Cutmaster Platinum® wheels.

The unique Micro-Structure of Bohle Cutmaster Platinum® wheels allows tensions to be transmitted into the glass with minimal cutting pressure, resulting in a very easy break of the glass. In use 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 and are easily changed using Bohle’s quick exchange system. For standard requirements, carbide wheels are available and an even longer service life is achieved with wheels made of PCD.
