Format Cutting Gauge – Precision for Perfect, Upright Edges
The Format Cutting Gauge is the ideal tool for anyone who demands the highest accuracy in manual filing work. As a stand-alone precision tool – not compatible with the CATHARA tool system – it was specifically developed for applications where exact, upright edges and precise angles are essential.
Whether in watchmaking, goldsmithing, fine mechanics, or model building: wherever millimetre-accurate handwork is required, the Format Cutting Gauge impresses with stability, repeatability, and ease of use.
Precise Filing for Workpieces up to 100 × 100 mm
With the Format Cutting Gauge, workpieces up to 100 × 100 mm can be clamped and processed with absolute accuracy. It enables:
• Filing upright edges with maximum precision
• Filing at right angles or at custom angles
• Bending sheet metal up to 1 mm thickness
• Dimensional accuracy without slipping or misalignment
This makes the tool ideal for delicate components, sensitive materials, and demanding fine-mechanical work.
Developed at the Request of Watchmakers – Proven Across Many Trades
The idea for the Format Cutting Gauge originated from repeated requests within the watchmaking industry, where absolute precision is indispensable. Today, it is successfully used in:
• Goldsmith and jewellery workshops
