Some have insulated handles and wire strippers. Strong cutters are used in industrial and rescue environments. A good pair can be expensive but worth it. They should be […]
Lathe cutters are machines used to cut and shape materials such as metal, plastic, and wood. They come in various sizes and types, including power, precision, and remote lathes. The size of a lathe is expressed numerically and refers to the swing size and maximum allowable length of material. Metalworking lathes have a bed-mounted carriage […]
Cookie cutters are essential for bakers and can be purchased in plastic or metal. 3D cookie cutters can create impressive designs, but require time and assembly. Proper baking technique is important for best results. Cookie cutters have other uses, such as cutting sandwiches or as templates for crafts. Cookie cutters, tools used to shape cookie […]
Bolt cutters are heavy-duty cutting tools used for thick materials such as steel wire, bolts, padlocks, and more. They have long handles and hinges to increase leverage for cutting force. Blades are made of hard metal alloys and come in various shapes. Larger cutters may be needed for more force. Hydraulic cutters are also available. […]
Plasma cutters use HF electricity to create a plasma arc for cutting conductive materials. Manual cutters are portable and easy to use, while automatic cutters are more productive but require specialized training. Choosing between the two depends on factors like portability and productivity. Plasma cutting machines use high frequency (HF) electricity to convert pressurized air […]
Plasma cutters are fast and efficient for cutting thick metal, but can be expensive and require proper handling to avoid damage. They don’t need preheating and can cut up to 6 inches deep. Slag buildup and hardened edges are common issues, but can be managed with regular cleaning and careful use. Plasma cutters are hailed […]

They have taken over from traditional butchers, who once catered to specific customer requests. Meat cutting is monitored by health and safety inspectors to ensure safe labor practices. Meat cutters work with large portions of […]
Laser cutting equipment uses either CO2 or neodymium-doped lasers and can be configured as flying optics, moving materials, or hybrid systems. Pulsed lasers are used for heat-sensitive materials and laser microjets incorporate a water jet for cooling. Each setup has different benefits. Different types of laser cutting equipment vary in the type of laser used […]
Ring cutters are used to remove rings, often in medical emergencies or when making size adjustments. Some are designed specifically for cutting rings and have a blade guard to protect the finger. Rings can get stuck due to weight gain, swelling, or getting caught on objects. It’s important to use the right tool for the […]
