Trend Intumescent Cutter C221X1/2TC 15mm x 40mm

The Intumescent Strip Recess Tool is designed to cut grooves and recesses in doors and frames to accommodate standard intumescent strips. This enables strip expansion during high temperatures, contributing to fire resistance and helping to limit flame and smoke propagation. The tool features tungsten carbide tips, a PTFE coating to reduce friction and resin build-up, and precise tip geometry for a clean, accurate cut. Compatible with handheld and table routers, it includes shank markings for safe operation. Additionally, a version of the tool is offered with a 1/2 inch shank for heavy-duty applications, optimized for larger routers and adjustable groove positioning for compliant fire and smoke protection.
