When sizing panel material, tools are usually used that are loud and heavy due to their<br />
structural design. The result is stress for man and machine. More than ten years ago,<br />
Leitz developed the pioneering tool solution for this problem that still sets the standard<br />
in terms of sustainability, efficiency and quality in edgebanding: the lightweight<br />
and quiet Diamaster WhisperCut jointing cutterhead. In the meantime, the world market<br />
leader from Oberkochen has turned it into a complete system family. With the available<br />
product variants, including one with an integrated HSK 32 R adaptor, users will in future<br />
be able to optimize existing jointing concepts and also optimize their production costs.<br />
Made<br />
in<br />
Germany<br />
significantly reduced compared to conventional<br />
systems. A solution that can be described as efficient<br />
in all respects.<br />
The Diamaster WhisperCut product range is available in numerous<br />
design variants and can be used on almost all common<br />
machine types. (Photo: Leitz)<br />
Light, quiet and efficient – these few words<br />
describe the advantages of the WhisperCut programme.<br />
In detail, it becomes apparent that it is<br />
the technical design of the tools that produces<br />
perfect edges and cut surfaces and also makes<br />
the jointing cutterhead significantly quieter. The<br />
reason for the noise reduction of up to 5 dB(A)<br />
is, on the one hand, the closed shape of the<br />
light metal tool body, which, with 50 percent<br />
less weight, protects the machine and the ears<br />
of the user, and, on the other hand, the special<br />
machining quality is explained by the proven<br />
DFC ® technology, with the help of which up to<br />
95 percent of the chips are collected.<br />
But that is not all. Considering the entire<br />
machining process, the WhisperCut cutterhead<br />
also saves time and money. Imitated by<br />
many tool manufacturers, the WhisperCut system<br />
still sets standards as an original – especially<br />
with regard to costs and maintenance.<br />
The specially developed diamond cutting edges<br />
can be resharpened several times in the tool.<br />
Alternatively, the replaceable cutting edges can<br />
be replaced directly by the user, which means<br />
that the diameter of the tool always remains<br />
constant. Set-up and adjustment times are thus<br />
No. 1 • March <strong>2022</strong><br />
The Diamaster WhisperCut jointing cutterhead<br />
is available in several versions. One<br />
is the basic version, whose cutting edges can<br />
be resharpened up to three times, and the<br />
WhisperCut PLUS version with an enlarged resharpening<br />
area on the cutting edges, which<br />
can be resharpened up to ten times. Both versions<br />
are available with a bore or shank, depending<br />
on the requirements. In addition, the<br />
WhisperCut jointing cutterhead is also available<br />
with an integrated hydro adaptor or with a fitted<br />
HSK 32 R adaptor. Both adaptor variants offer<br />
significant advantages in terms of concentricity<br />
and axial run-out accuracy, machining<br />
quality and tool life extension.<br />
For users of laser edging systems, Leitz also<br />
has the WhisperCut EdgeExpert variant in its<br />
product range. Also resharpenable up to three<br />
times, it impresses with its special cutting edge<br />
arrangement and provides even better machining<br />
quality. On request, these jointing cutterheads<br />
can also be supplied as a PLUS variant<br />
and can therefore be resharpened up to ten<br />
times.<br />
With the development of the WhisperCut<br />
system family, Leitz has demonstrated its leadership<br />
in the customer-oriented development<br />
of tool systems for the furniture industry. Even<br />
more advantages and time savings are generated<br />
for users who have the jointing cutterheads<br />
resharpened in one of the more than<br />
120 Leitz service centres around the globe.<br />
Perfectly sharpened in manufacturer quality,<br />
balanced and including the supplied setting<br />
data, the tools can thus be used easily, quickly<br />
and reliably.<br />
