The zeus® RD1 series for form knurling applications is the economic and easy solution for producing all kinds of knurling profiles. A classic, that can also be used for the marking of work pieces on autolathes. A further advantage: The knurling profile can start at any position of the work piece - a groove is not required.

The zeus® RD2 series is the first choice for producing RGE profiles in axial tool direction. Working axially, the knurl width can be chosen according to any size required. The tool series offers many add-ons, that simplify the tool handling. Due to its modular design, the RD2 is suitable for both right-hand and left-hand operations. For the swiss type autolathe versions the flexible shank system allows a conversion to different shank sizes.

The zeus® RD2 series 161/162 allows for fine machining. Due to the special tool design with two knurl holders, the lateral pressure exerted on work piece and machine is minimal. The series is therefore especially suitable for form knurling small and delicate parts. Several versions are available for different applications and machine types. Where work space is limited and tiny work piece diameters have to be knurled, this tool range should be first choice!

The zeus® RD3 series for the axial machining of workpieces has been completely redesigned. The new tool concept meets the high expectations towards rigidity and precision for processing smallest workpiece diameters. The tool is especially suitable for high precision turned-parts for the optical or watch industry, the medical industry or the electronical industry. The product series is suitable for straight and RGE knurling profiles.
