Leitz UK Spiral Router Cutters - Bespoke Solutions Made In Britain:
Over the course of the last few years, Leitz tooling UK has been working very hard to increase its servicing and new tooling capabilities, especially for router cutters and other shank tools. After investing heavily in modern & state of the art equipment, we are now able to manufacture and service bespoke router cutters made for the UK market.
Sourcing our high-grade cutting materials from our sister companies’ carbide factory in Kapfenberg, Austria and some of the UK’s leading suppliers of quality high speed steel ensuring this new product range can achieve maximum performance and efficiency at high speed and feed rates. We can now manufacture and service a wide range of router cutters engineered specifically for the UK marketplace at competitive prices.
Additionally, as the UK strives towards the goal of net zero in 2050, we have made sure that the vast majority of our UK-made spiral router cutters are able to be resharpened, multiple times, depending on the diameter of the tools cutting edge. This helps us achieve our main objective: increasing the profitability of our customers through lower tooling costs, avoiding downtime, and reducing the environmental impact.
The production of Leitz spiral router cutters is supplemented by solar power from our Harlow factory, enabling a much more sustainable router cutter manufacturing process, and any unused power is sent back to the grid so everyone can benefit.
Our Growing Router Cutter Range Includes:
- Roughing Router Cutters.
- Finishing Router Cutters.
- Compression Router Cutters.
- G-TEC Compression Router Cutters.

Our G-Tec router cutters are heavily inspired by our German routing range. Combining tried, tested and innovative tool geometries from the Leitz range with specialist grade carbide provides you with unmatched cutting performance at high speeds.
G-Tec router cutters excel when cutting at high speeds and allow you to increase productivity through reduced cycle times and reduced downtime from tool changes. All our G-Tec routers are engineered for multiple resharpens.

Now that we have increased our range of British made router cutters we are happy to offer one off bespoke solutions to tackle almost any manufacturing issue we come across. In fact, in many cases we can design new tools specifically to tackle individual manufacturing challenges.
Additionally, Leitz is happy to make our router cutters either left or right hand, to suit your machinery and preferences. Our typical offering of customised tool modifications, like reducing the diameter or sizing for specific applications, still apply to this new range of products. We are always open to making modifications within certain parameters.
