for aluminium foilfor steelfor foam

Overview
The TruTool TPC 165 is a portable panel cutter designed to cut sandwich panels up to 165 mm (6.5 in) thickness. Its blade insertion mechanism enables precise, perpendicular interior cutouts and notches in a single operation. The machine requires no complex presets: select the blade position and start cutting. It performs guided cuts on flat, trapezoidal and corrugated panel surfaces.

Key benefits

• Perpendicular cuts: 90° swiveling blade for accurate perpendicular interior cutouts and notches up to 165 mm depth.
• Insertion mechanism: Start interior cutouts at any position on the panel without turning the panel.
• High productivity: Working speed up to 4 m/min; can cut upper and lower sheets in one pass to reduce rework.
• Compact and light: Sheet-steel housing and low weight (9.6 kg) for easier handling on site.
• Integrated chain lubrication: Automatic lubrication prevents chain heating and maintains consistent cut quality and tool life.

Applications

• Flat sandwich panels (roof panels) with steel or aluminium faces; insulation: polyurethane foam, polyisocyanurate foam; panel thicknesses up to 165 mm.
• Corrugated sandwich panels with steel or aluminium faces; insulation: polyurethane foam, polyisocyanurate foam; panel thicknesses up to 165 mm.
• Trapezoidal sandwich panels up to 165 mm depth; suitable for various panel profiles.
