Hoffmann Group USA, as a subsidiary of Hoffmann Group, stands as a premier system partner for top-quality tools in Europe. Within its extensive product lines are cutting tools, hand tools, workstations, storage options, and more from their exclusive brands Garant and Holex.
Garant, established in 1973, has grown to become a beloved choice among European consumers. It is the go-to tool for industrial applications, providing the strength and durability needed for demanding tasks.
Over the past 40 years, Holex has been developed to offer a comprehensive range of industrial-quality tools at competitive prices, making it the ideal choice for those seeking affordability without compromising on quality.
The cutting tool products in this category are specifically designed for the production of printed circuit boards (PCBs) using a mechanical milling process. These tools are also suitable for drilling holes on PCBs that have been chemically etched. One notable characteristic of these tools is their relatively small size compared to those typically used in household or industrial applications.
The primary purpose of these cutting tools is to precisely remove unwanted copper or substrate material from PCBs during the manufacturing process. The mechanical milling process involves the use of rotating cutting tools to selectively remove material, creating precise traces, pads, and holes on the board. This allows for the creation of complex PCB patterns and circuits with high accuracy.
These cutting tools are designed to meet the specific requirements of PCB production, including the need for fine detail and high precision. They are typically made from durable materials such as carbide or high-speed steel, ensuring longevity and optimal performance during the milling or drilling process.
Due to their specialized nature, these cutting tools are primarily used in PCB manufacturing facilities or by professional PCB designers and manufacturers. Their small size allows for intricate cutting and drilling operations, enabling the production of high-quality PCBs for various electronic applications.
In summary, the cutting tools within this product family are specifically tailored for the mechanical milling and drilling processes involved in PCB production. Their small size, precision, and durability make them essential tools for creating intricate circuit patterns and structures on printed circuit boards.
