Sistemi Klein T356 Solid Carbide Compression CNC Router Cutter – Z3+3

Solid carbide Z3+3 compression spiral cutter designed for clean cutting on both faces of laminated boards, MDF, plywood and timber. The Sistemi Klein T356 range features three-wing compression geometry for CNC routing and panel processing, with seven sizes from 8 mm to 16 mm diameter.

The Sistemi Klein T356 Solid Carbide Compression Cutter is designed for CNC machining applications where clean top and bottom edges are essential, particularly when processing double-sided laminated panels and sheet materials.

Its Z3+3 compression cutting geometry combines opposing cutting directions to help minimise chipping on both faces of the workpiece. Designed for productive machining and quality edge finishing, the T356 is suitable for CNC routers, machining centres and point-to-point machines used in cabinet manufacturing, joinery and panel processing.

Key features and benefits

• Z3+3 compression geometry: Three-wing cutting arrangement with opposing cutting directions helps produce clean upper and lower panel edges.

• Designed for productive machining: Sistemi Klein specifically develops this range for higher feed-rate applications where a good finish on both sides is required.

• Solid carbide construction: A rigid cutting tool suited to CNC routing and machining applications.

• Clean laminate edges: Compression cutting action helps reduce breakout when machining double-sided melamine, laminated plywood and coated panels.

• Wide material suitability: Manufacturer-listed materials include MDF/HDF, chipboard, plywood, hardwood, softwood and solid-surface materials such as Corian.

• Seven size options: Available in 8 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm and 16 mm diameters with different cutting lengths to suit machining requirements.

For effective compression cutting, select the correct cutting depth so that both the up-cut and down-cut portions of the cutter engage the material.
