Allpax gasket cutters are primarily divided into two main types: Extension-Style (for portability and field use) and Rotary-Style (for fixed workshop use, often with greater precision for multiple, identical gaskets). They also offer a range of punches and hammers for specific gasket preparation tasks.
These kits are known for their portability and are ideal for fabricating gaskets on-site. They typically include a cutter block, extension bars, various blades, and a cutting board, all organized in a durable carrying case.
Compact Gasket Cutter Kits (2000 Series):
AX2000: Designed for smaller gaskets, cutting from 1/4'' ID to 6'' OD. Features a phenolic cutter block and comes in a metal storage case.
AX2010: Similar to the AX2000, often including a cutting board.
Light-Duty Gasket Cutter Kits (AX3000 Series):
AX3000: Capable of cutting gaskets from 0 to 13'' OD. These kits typically feature a plastic cutter block.
Other models in this series, such as AX3010, AX3020, and AX3030, offer varying outer diameter (OD) cutting ranges.
Heavy-Duty Standard Gasket Cutter Kits (AX6000 Series): These robust kits feature premium brass cutter blocks and chrome-plated steel extension bars, built for demanding industrial applications.
AX6000: Cuts 0 to 13'' OD gaskets (cutter and accessories only, without a cutting board).
AX6010: Cuts 0 to 13'' OD gaskets (includes a cutting board).
AX6020: Cuts 0 to 25'' OD gaskets (includes a cutting board).
AX6030: Cuts 0 to 37'' OD gaskets (includes a cutting board).
AX6040: Cuts 0 to 49'' OD gaskets (includes a cutting board).
AX6050: Cuts 0 to 61'' OD gaskets (includes a cutting board).
Additional models like AX6001, AX6002, and AX6004 are available with different OD ranges and configurations.
Heavy-Duty Metric Gasket Cutter Kits (AX6100 Series): These are the metric equivalents of the heavy-duty standard kits.
AX6100: Cuts 0 to 330mm OD gaskets (without a cutting board).
AX6120: Cuts 0 to 635mm OD gaskets (includes a cutting board).
AX6130: Cuts 0 to 940mm OD gaskets (includes a cutting board).
AX6150: Cuts 0 to 1550mm OD gaskets (includes a cutting board).
Other models, including AX6110 and AX6140, are also part of this series.
These cutters are designed for fixed installation in a workshop, often mounted on a workbench or clamped. They are ideal for cutting multiple, identical gaskets and for handling more rigid gasket materials.
M3 Rotary-Style Gasket Cutter:
AX7000: The standard (imperial) model, primarily used for non-metallic sheet gasket materials such as cork, fiber, and rubber. It can be operated manually with a hand-crank.
AX7050: The metric version of the M3 Rotary Cutter.
Motorized M3 Rotary-Style Gasket Cutter: These versions offer motorized operation for increased efficiency and precision.
AX7200: Standard (imperial) model, 120 Volt.
AX7220: Standard (imperial) model, 220 Volt.
AX7250: Metric model, 120 Volt.
AX7270: Metric model, 220 Volt.
SM4 Rotary-Style Gasket Cutter:
AX7001: Specifically designed for cutting metallic gasket materials (e.g., soft steel, copper, zinc, brass), but also effective for hard fiber, rubber, and various plastics.
Allpax also provides specialized tools that complement their gasket cutters for specific tasks in gasket fabrication:
Hollow Punch Kits: (e.g., AX1300 for imperial, AX1350 for metric) - Used for punching precise bolt holes or creating small-diameter ring gaskets.
Power Punches: Designed for quick and easy punching of bolt holes.
Dove-Tail Punches: Used for fabricating interlocking dove-tail joints in flange gaskets.
Dead Blow Hammers: Ideal for use with hole punches, these hammers reduce rebound and absorb impact for more effective striking.
