New enhanced rotation cutting tools debut at Conexpo-Con/Agg
New Rhino enhanced-rotation cutting tools for Wirtgen cold milling machines and soil stabilizers offer even higher durability at reduced costs than existing units.
The new redesigned Rhino Spring Clip and Rhino Ring improve rotation, reduce cutter bit wear and make installation easier – all resulting in more savings for you. The Rhino Spring Clip has a rounder shape, bi-directional retaining tabs, reduced gap size and is made from thicker material. The Rhino Ring has a larger outside diameter, smaller inside diameter and larger cone size.
Their advantages include better tool guidance in the tool holder, thanks to a guide cone with improved precision, and a high-grade Geomet coating to facilitate insertion and removal of the cutting tools. It’s also been possible to increase the clamping force in the clamping sleeves of the new series of R-cutting tools. New models include the W6R, W6HR, W7EHR, W6/22R, W6HPR, W7ER, and W6SG/22R.
