Sistemi Klein T156 Solid Carbide Compression CNC Router Cutter – Z2+2

Solid carbide compression spiral router cutter with Z2+2 cutting geometry, designed for clean upper and lower edges when machining laminated boards, MDF, plywood and timber. Available in diameters from 8 mm to 20 mm for CNC routing and panel processing applications.

The Sistemi Klein T156 Solid Carbide Compression Cutter is designed for CNC machining applications where a clean finish on both faces of the panel is essential.

Its compression spiral geometry combines an up-cut lower section with a down-cut upper section. This directs cutting forces towards the centre of the material, helping reduce chipping and breakout on laminated panels, melamine-faced chipboard and plywood.

The T156 range is particularly suited to cabinet manufacturing, joinery and panel processing, where consistent edge quality and efficient nesting operations are important.

Key features and benefits

• Z2+2 compression geometry: Opposing up-cut and down-cut cutting sections help produce clean edges on both faces of the panel.

• Solid carbide construction: Provides a rigid cutting tool suitable for CNC routing applications.

• Designed for higher feed rates: The double-flute compression configuration is intended for productive panel machining.

• Broad material compatibility: Suitable for MDF, chipboard, double-sided melamine, laminated plywood, softwood, hardwood, plastic-coated boards and mineral materials such as Corian.

• Multiple cutter sizes: Diameters from 8 mm to 20 mm with different cutting lengths to suit material thickness and machining requirements.

• Right-hand rotation: The listed T156 variants are designed for RH spindle rotation.

For a clean finish on both faces, the tool must be used at sufficient cutting depth for both the up-cut and down-cut sections to engage the material.
