V-Groove soft tip cutter designed for V-carving

 

Wealden's latest design is a two flute TC tipped V-groove soft tip cutter primarily for V-carving material to be painted or foil wrapped. The soft V-point reduces the risk of paint build up in the groove which delays drying time, or gaps below the foil wrap, both of which potentially cause weakness in the finish.

Other applications may include lettering, engraving or decorative designs.

Available to buy on the Wealden website

Wealden design new cutter for J handle handleless drawers


Wealden have designed a new cutter for finger pull mouldings on MDF and timber doors and drawers, which produces a profile with a good grip recess on 18mm or 22mm thick material.

The cutter moulds the recess from the rear of the door and, when used with a separate rear insert, overcomes the difficulty of painting into the finger grip from the front.  Inserts in contrasting materials or colours can be used, offering the opportunity for unique designs and shapes.  

A video has been produced to show the cutter in use.  Suitable for use in both hand routers and tables, the cutter is avilable on the Wealden website in the router tooling range.

Wealden launch new range of Flush Groovers


In response to customers' requests, Wealden have just produced a range of Flush Groovers, which have shank-mounted bearings and a flush bottom.

Without a bearing or nut below the cutting edge it is possible to cut down into rebates and above a sub-base etc.  This is especially useful for working on flooring in situ, where a joint or false tongue is required.

The 6.35mm groover is suitable for false tongue work using 6mm ply as the tongue.

The new groovers are available on the Wealden website in the router tooling range.
