Engraving cutter Pro D — 12 mm solid‑carbide, Profile D, 60° tip (Werner Wilke)

The engraving cutter Pro D 12 mm is a solid‑carbide tool for precision lettering, contour engraving and copy milling across steel, grey cast iron, non‑ferrous metals and plastics

• Solid‑carbide, fine‑grain K10/K20
• 60° cutting edge, pre‑ground half tip
• For steel, cast iron, non‑ferrous metals, plastics

Precision geometry that lowers rework and downtime

The tool’s solid‑carbide composition in fine‑grain K10/K20 provides a stable cutting edge and uniform wear behaviour, which translates into fewer tool changes and less rework. The precision‑ground profile ensures repeatable results when producing small lettering and fine contours, while the h6 diameter tolerance maintains concentricity in tool holders and collets. By relying on dimensional stability rather than frequent recalibration, production flow remains predictable and efficient.

Reliable cutting performance across common workshop materials

Designed for a wide range of applications, the cutter handles steel, grey cast iron, non‑ferrous metals and plastics without the need for multiple specialised tools. The 60° cutting edge with a pre‑ground half tip improves penetration and centring for engraving and copy milling, while the 18 mm cutting length and 75 mm overall length balance reach and rigidity. This combination supports higher feed rates with consistent surface finish, delivering a measurable performance advantage in repetitive marking and contouring tasks.

Practical tolerances and setup advantages for everyday use

Diameter stability at 12 mm and a length tolerance of +/- 2 mm simplify tool management and inventory planning. The pre‑sharpened tip reduces setup time and minimises trial cuts, making the tool suitable for small batches as well as serial production. The cutter’s profile D geometry is optimised for clear, legible engraving and precise contour transfer during copy milling, so programming effort and downstream finishing can be reduced—supporting faster throughput and lower per‑part costs.
