The base plate of the DL disc is constructed of aluminum. This enables a quiet operation and comfortable, easy handling. 7 cutting blades constructed of durable hard metal (Widia) ensure a high level of removal and longevity. The blades are factory adjusted to remove quickly and form large chips. This adjustment allows the horn to be removed fast and carefully, without smell, dust or temperature buildup. Experience values show that 400 and more animals held in open pens can have their hooves cut with one set of blades. The high value is significantly reduced with harder hooves, often found in closed pens.
