What Tools are the Best For CNC Gasket Cutting Machine
Still confused about which tool to pick for cutting gaskets?

You’re not alone. Many customers get lost in “oscillation frequency” and “amplitude” numbers.

Let’s skip the technical jargon and go straight to what matters:
👉 Which tool cuts your gasket cleanly, efficiently, and without breaking blades.

Table of Contents

High-Frequency Pneumatic Oscillating Tool

Specs at a glance:

  • 15,000 vibrations per minute
  • 9 mm amplitude
  • Built-in pressure regulator

This tool gently lowers the impact on the blade when entering hard materials — meaning less breakage and longer blade life.
It shines when cutting high-hardness materials up to 5 mm thick.

Best for:

  • Non-asbestos gaskets
  • Graphite reinforced sheets
  • PTFE (Teflon) sheets
  • Modified PTFE with metal or filler layers

400 W High-Power Electric Oscillating Tool (Servo Type)

Specs:

  • 5 mm amplitude
  • 4,000 vibrations/min
  • Driven by a powerful Mitsubishi servo motor

When your gasket is 8–15 mm thick and made of dense rubber, this tool gives you strong, steady cutting power.
Unlike low-power tools, it won’t “jam” or lose vibration under pressure.

Best for:

  • High-density rubber
  • EPDM, NBR, or silicone rubber sheets

400 W Electric Oscillating Tool (Large-Amplitude Version)

What’s different?
Same servo motor, but amplitude increased to 10 mm.
That means less resistance, deeper penetration, and smoother cuts for thicker rubber.

Best for:

  • 20–30 mm thick rubber gaskets
  • Soft composite gasket materials

High-Speed Milling Cutter Tool

Sometimes oscillating blades can’t do everything.
When you need to cut hard boards or drill small holes, the milling cutter takes over.

For high-hardness insulation boards

If you’re cutting epoxy resin, fiberglass, or other insulation plates (3–8 mm thick), choose the milling cutter.

For small or oval holes in thick materials

As thickness and hardness increase, oscillating knives lose efficiency in small-diameter cuts — and blade tips may chip.
Use the milling cutter for small holes and precise shapes.

Rubber sheet6–15 mm< 10 mmMilling cutter
Rubber sheet15–25 mm≈ 20 mmMilling cutter

Small-Power High-Frequency Electric Oscillating Tool

Vibration: 16,000/min
For: Low-density or lightweight gasket materials

This tool delivers fast, clean cuts for thin materials — giving smooth edges and no burning marks.

Best for:

  • 5 mm graphite
  • 10 mm ceramic fiber paper
  • 1 mm or thinner non-asbestos sheets

💬 Final Words from an AMOR CNC Engineer

Don’t stress over terms like frequency or amplitude.
Just tell us three things:

  1. What material you cut
  2. How thick it is
  3. Whether it’s soft or hard

We’ll configure the right tools for you — guaranteed.
No overthinking, no broken blades, just perfect gaskets every time.

Remember: The right tool = clean edges, longer blade life, and higher efficiency.
