Packing Cutters

These tools have been designed to cut packing rings to the exact length, thus avoiding cutting errors. Ease of use thanks to a cursor with packing sections, a scale of shaft diameters and which allows to directly obtain the exact ring length. The packings cut at 45°, thus joining together, ensure sealing efficiency. The graduations for packing sections and shaft diameters are given in millimetres and in inches. An appropriate knife is provided with the unit.
