A wide range specialised cutters are produced in particle metallurgy high speed steels in a wide variety of diameters and lengths according to the application and machine.

Burcas manufactures a wide range specialised cutting products including thread mills, die sinkers, hollow mills, rotor blade cutters, step drills, step reamers and spline cutters, with the largest proportion of the special cutters division products being hacksaw/bandsaw milling cutters.

These cutters are produced in particle metallurgy high speed steels in a wide variety of diameters and lengths according to the application and machine.

Burcas cutters are utilised to machine all types of bandsaw forms including vari-pitch, hook and positive rake.

The company also produces hacksaw cutters that manufacture fretsaw blades with a pitch as fine as 120TPI (threads per inch).

The majority of cutters are produced with a spiral lead, but when the customer does not have the capability to regrind spirals Burcas interlocks the cutters enabling them to be set up with all cutting faces parallel for regrinding or staggered for cutting.

The company also interlocks spiral fluted cutters when the customer requires a length of cut greater than 330mm (13in).

Burcas designs the cutting geometry of the cutter around the customer desired finish form and all cutters are verified by machining a test piece.
