Perfect cutting results in different materials

Unrivalled easy, flexible and safe

Whether industrial or bespoke production, joining and beveling with different bevel angles represents one of the central challenges with regard to the available equipment, different materials, profiles and quality requirements. The Leitz variable angle cutterhead system offers individual advantages for every company size and thus helps to achieve a clear production and quality. The system is not only flexible and sustainable, but also improves production efficiency.
