KNIPEX 72 01 160 Diagonal Cutters for Plastics

Product overview

KNIPEX 72 01 160 Diagonal Cutters for Plastics

The KNIPEX 72 01 160 Diagonal Cutters for Plastics are specially designed for flush cutting of moulded plastic components and sprues during production and assembly work. Engineered for precision and control, these KNIPEX 7201160 cutters feature surface-ground cutting edges without bevels. This enables smooth, near-flush cuts on plastics and other soft materials such as lead. This makes the KNIPEX 72 01 160 ideal for reducing finishing and deburring work after injection moulding processes.

Designed for durability and everyday industrial use, these KNIPEX 7201160 diagonal cutters combine forged vanadium electric steel construction with a compact, lightweight design for comfortable handling. An integrated opening spring helps reduce repetitive hand movement and operator fatigue, while the improved transmission ratio delivers up to 25% greater cutting performance.

Part Number: 72 01 160.

Why Choose the KNIPEX 72 01 160?

These KNIPEX 72 01 160 cutters are developed specifically for precision plastic cutting applications where smooth, flush results are essential. Unlike standard cutters designed for wire, KNIPEX 7201160 diagonal cutters use surface-ground cutting edges that run parallel to the workpiece. This allows sprues and moulded parts to be separated cleanly with minimal finishing required.

Combining precision cutting performance, ergonomic handling and durable construction, KNIPEX 7201160 diagonal cutters are an excellent choice for production, manufacturing and assembly environments. Their compact design, opening spring and reliable cutting action make them ideal for repetitive industrial tasks involving plastics and soft materials.
