CutTool CDR/CUT-922 — Quick Guide
Blade Types & Uses
- Rotary blade: fabrics, vinyl, paper, thin plastics — smooth curved cuts.
- Straight blade: scoring, precise straight cuts in cardstock or thin acrylic.
- Serrated blade: abrasive materials or grippy textiles.
- Diamond or carbide tip: light-gauge metals or tougher plastics (check compatibility).
Applications and Use Cases
Q: Is the CutTool CDR CUT 922 suitable for titanium?
A: No. Titanium requires specialized aluminum chromium nitride (AlCrN) coatings and positive rake geometries. The 922 is not optimized for Ti-6Al-4V.

Pro Tip: Always use climb milling for better finish when using the CDR CUT 922 in aluminum or plastics. Rotary blade: fabrics, vinyl, paper, thin plastics —
2. CDR Native Optimization
The "CDR" in the name isn't just marketing fluff. The tool’s firmware is engineered to interpret CorelDRAW vector nodes efficiently. It handles Bézier curves with high fidelity, reducing the need for node cleanup before sending a job to the cutter. It effectively speaks the language of your design software.
4. Hardened Steel (Up to 50-55 HRC)
- The TiAlN coating allows dry machining at moderate speeds. Not recommended for stainless steel above 40 HRC without advanced cooling.
4. Variable Pressure Dynamics
The CutToolCDRCut922 features a dynamic pressure sensor. When it detects a thicker substrate—like magnetic sheeting or heavy-duty vinyl—it automatically adjusts downforce to ensure a clean cut-through without damaging the backing sheet or the cutting mat.
3. Copper and Brass
- Excellent for electrical component machining due to low burr formation.
