UM Cutters for Material Reduction and Surface Quality

KOMET USA Introduces UM Cutters for Material Reduction and Surface Quality
Posted: May 9, 2007
01tc_um_700 (WinCE).jpgKOMET USA, a recognized worldwide leader in the production of precision rotary instruments for the dental industry, introduced its new patented UM Cutters, tungsten carbide cutters designed for multi-functional cutting of non-precious metal and model cast alloys.  With this announcement KOMET unites three different toothing functions into a single cutter, for higher material reduction and better surface quality. 
 
KOMET’s UM tungsten carbide cutters offer significant advantages over conventional tungsten carbide cutters.  Practitioners can control the contact pressure to emphasize either material reduction or surface quality.  High contact pressure results in higher material reduction, while low contact pressure achieves better surface quality.  The new blade configuration contributes to a smoother operation and reduced vibration, without strain to the user’s wrist.  The materials used to manufacture the cutters, a particularly fine, hot-isostatically pressed tungsten carbide, guarantees sharp, unmarred blades and a long service life.  Its unique design features a red ring and golden shank, clearly distinguishable from cutters with conventional toothing. 
 
Extensive laboratory tests have confirmed that KOMET USA’s UM Cutters produce a better surface quality – equal to fine (EF) toothing – than cutters with conventional staggered toothing (E-toothing).
