Cutter with straight shank — available in 1/2" and 12 mm models Why choose this cutter Fits common engraving and routing setups: offered in the two shank sizes most often required by engraving machines and imported machines. Simple, reliable installation: straight shank design makes mounting fast and repeatable in standard collets and chucks. Reduces downtime: having the correct shank size for your machine avoids poor fit, runout, and the need for adapters. Key attributes Product category: Cutter (Fräser) Shank form: Straight shank (gerader Griff) Models and compatibility: 1/2" shank — used by engraving machines 12 mm shank — used by foreign machines How this solves common problems Compatibility mismatch: choosing the correct shank size prevents collet incompatibility and reduces vibration. Repeated tool changes: the straight shank enables consistent seating and faster tool swaps. Machine-specific fit: offering both 1/2" and 12 mm models covers the two standard requirements for many domestic and imported engraving machines. Practical use scenarios Replace a worn cutter on an engraving machine that accepts a 1/2" shank for precise, repeatable engraving jobs. Install the 12 mm shank model on imported or foreign CNC/engraving equipment that requires metric shank dimensions. Keep both shank sizes on hand in a shop that services mixed fleets of domestic and imported engraving machines to minimize job interruptions. What to check before ordering Verify your machine’s collet or chuck accepts a straight shank and matches either 1/2" or 12 mm. Confirm the cutter model (1/2" or 12 mm) corresponds to your machine’s recommended shank size. This cutter is offered in the two specified models to ensure correct fit and dependable operation with compatible engraving equipment.
