Leitz Tooling launches FineCut

To mark its 150th anniversary, Leitz Tooling has launched FineCut, a circular saw blade technology that the company says challenges one of the industry’s longest-standing conventions; the need for a separate scoring saw blade.

By integrating the scoring function directly into the main blade, FineCut reportedly delivers tear-free bottom edges, exceptional cut quality, and streamlined production processes.

The tooth geometry creates a score as its cutting – removing lengthy setup time and downtime between operations.

Suitable for all conventional panel materials, this blade uses high-grade diamond that is graded for application, resulting minimal wear when cutting and long tool life.

This allows machinist to focus on what they do best, increasing part output.

Other key features of FineCut include:

  • No scoring blade required
  • Reduced setup and adjustment times
  • Superior edge quality on coated panels
  • Diamond-tipped technology for extended tool life

With increased productivity and lower operating costs as manufacturers continue to seek higher efficiency, precision, and sustainability, innovations like FineCut are said to demonstrate how tooling technology can drive measurable improvements across the production floor.

Could this be the future standard for panel cutting? Find out more about FineCut here: FineCut circular sawblade | Leitz
