Mechanical cutters are tools designed to slice, trim, or shape materials using a sharp edge or blade. They are commonly used in various industries, including manufacturing, construction, and woodworking. These devices can range from simple hand-held tools, like scissors and knives, to complex machines, such as CNC routers and laser cutters, which automate the cutting process for precision and efficiency. These cutters operate through different mechanisms, including rotary, reciprocating, and shearing actions. Mechanical cutters can handle a wide variety of materials, including metal, plastic, and wood, making them versatile tools in both professional and DIY settings. Their effectiveness depends on the type of blade used and the specific application for which they are designed.
