Mini Mite® Version 3.0 radius cutters are available in 1mm and 2mm radiuses.
Mini Mite® Version 3.0 radius cutter heads also offer an environmental advantage when compared with abrasive discs which would traditional be used for these applications. Using abrasive discs produces a very fine dust which is then emitted into the workplace resulting in a dusty and unhealthy working environment. The metal chips removed by radius cutter heads are much heavier in comparison and fall directly to the ground as metal chips.
The cut on the radius cutter heads is designed to cut through the metal in such a way that it produces far less vibration and noise when compared with working with abrasive discs or machines with carbide inserts. The latter have a far less efficient cutting action and tend to chop the edge off rather than cut it.
Unlike other solutions which need you to make additional adjustments to the machine, all you need to do with the Mini Mite® cutter heads are change the cutter and bearing, which makes the Mini Mite® cutter head solution unique. Switching between different radiuses with the Mini Mite® cutters can be achieved within seconds.
Due to the cutting action of Mini Mite® radius cutter heads, they give the advantage that minimal heat is generated to the material to be machined. Therefore, there is less chance of deformation of the metal and no discoloration of the machined cutting edge.
With every new Mini Mite® version 3.0 radius cutter head, you also receive a replacement guide bearing. The diameter of the guide bearing is 9mm allowing it to be used to radius holes as small as 12mm with the R1 cutter head, and 14mm diameter with the R2 cutter head.
