Leitz Whispercut Knife Type B2 6.7x14.2x4.3 PCD
Leitz WhisperCut
Type B2 Knife
Premium Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) exchangeable insert knife optimized for WhisperCut jointing and pre-milling cutterhead assemblies. Engineered with a specialized 6.7mm cutting length acting as the symmetric match to the B1 configuration.
Main Product Description
The Leitz WhisperCut Type B2 exchangeable polycrystalline diamond (PCD) knife is an industrial-grade insert developed for high-end component profiling. Configured with a 6.7 mm cutting length, 14.2 mm width, and 4.3 mm body thickness, this precision knife serves as the mirrored counterpart to the Type B1 insert, establishing a balanced mechanical equilibrium during high-RPM operations.
Constructed with a premium polycrystalline diamond tip fused to a hardened steel indexing block, this insert maintains exceptional edge sharpness when confronting abrasive binders, glues, and dense composite fiber cores. The result is a glass-smooth edge finish that ensures structural integrity and tight glue lines for subsequent edgebanding steps.
Best Fit Applications
Product Highlights
Mirrored Shear Pairing
The specialized B2 layout balances localized cutting pressures, eliminating trailing edge vibration when paired with B1 indexes.
PCD Wear Lifespan
Polycrystalline diamond extends the tooling lifespan drastically compared to solid carbide, minimizing tool-change downtime.
Perfect Axial Alignment
Engineered to exact 4.3mm thickness specifications to guarantee perfect pocket seating and uniform cutting circles.
Compatibility & Installation Notes
Verify that your specific Leitz jointing head configuration requires Type B2 (6.7 mm x 14.2 mm x 4.3 mm) inserts to achieve accurate mechanical balance alongside Type B1 blocks. Thoroughly scrape and spray out all residual dust, resin, and chips from the cutterhead pocket seat prior to placing the replacement knife. Utilize a calibrated torque wrench to seat the clamping screw precisely to factory settings, ensuring balanced axial tracking at operating velocities.
Optimize Machining Throughput
Optimize your machining throughput and guarantee flawless edge finishes with the authentic Leitz WhisperCut Type B2 6.7x14.2x4.3 PCD knife insert. Purpose-built for automated industrial formatting setups and rigorous high-volume panel sizing lines, this premium tooling asset keeps your pre-milling station running at peak accuracy across extended shifts.
The highly stable polycrystalline diamond layout smoothly handles difficult composite substrates without causing face breakout along paper-thin decorative veneers. By deploying genuine 091068 replacements, plant operators secure correct pocket indexing, low aerodynamic noise levels, and the precise axial shear profile expected from the WhisperCut engineering family.
