New chipless cut-off system T-Drill, USA, has launched the TCJ-50 tube cut-off system. This product extends the company’s chipless rotary cut-off technology into a small, bench mounted system designed for short production runs from straight tube. The TCJ-50 is capable of cutting copper, steel, aluminium and stainless steel tube from 3 / 8 " to 2 1 / 8 " diameters without any tool changes. The tube being cut remains stationary and enclosed, and the cut produces no flying chips and no fragments like traditional chop saws. The system is suitable for prototype shops, mechanical contractors, and any application requiring JIT capability. › T-Drill’s TCJ-50 tube cut-off system
