FURTHER INFORMATION ON THE CNC TENSILKUT III

            The CNC Tensilkut III was developed for use by lab personnel without previous machining experience.  It employs an integral microcomputer to prepare those specimens which we have programmed in accordance with the customer’s requirements.  This system features a Windows based software with point-and-click operation; the color monitor displays tool paths, speeds and depths of cut during operation.  The CNC Tensilkut III is completely enclosed, inhibiting flying chips and lessening the noise of the cutting operation.  It also includes a vacuum chip reduction system and a micro drop coolant system for improved edge finishes.  The CNC Tensilkut III is shipped fully set up; the computer need only be hooked up for the system to be ready to operate.

For accurate cutting with the CNC Tensilkut III, use the Solid Carbide C60 series Tensilbits, designed with an end cut. To see a photo of the cutter, click on the part number in the list below, which suggests the proper cutter for your application:

C62 is a 2 flute, solid carbide cutter. It is suited to preparing most metal samples, including steel, copper, brass, and aluminum. It can also be used to cut soft plastics.

C63 is a 4 flute, solid carbide cutter. It can be used for aluminum and other soft metals, and for hard plastics.

C64 is an 8 flute, solid carbide cutter. It is well suited to preparing test samples from most plastics.

C65 is a solid carbide, burr type cutter. It can be used for cutting specimens from ceramics, fiberglass, rubber, composites, epoxies and Kevlar*.

C66 is a diamond plated, straight tool steel shanked cutter. It is used for finishing specimens which need special polishing around the edges, including Kevlar*.

C67 is a solid carbide, high helix cutter. It is well suited to cutting specimens from most hard metals, including stainless and many alloys. It is also available with a Titanium Nitride coating, for longer life or better performance on harder metals (part no. TC67).

For further information on these cutters, or for a quotation, please call (865) 982-6300 or email our sales department at tensilbits@tensilkut.com for immediate assistance.

*Please note: When cutting Kevlar, we suggest use of the C65 cutter for cutting all but the final .005” of the samples, and using the C-66 to remove the last .005:, eliminating the frayed edges commonly experienced when cutting Kevlar.
