The shop features the Swiss company's full complement of knives, routers, engraving bits and punching tools, as well as cutting, routing and plotting accessories.

An interactive tool selector helps users select the correct tool based on the type and thickness of the material they wish to cut, which is then used to narrow the list of compatible products.

Zünd said that the web shop, which offers free shipping on orders over €400 and accepts payment via Visa, Mastercard or direct bank transfer, was in response to customer demand for quick access to consumables.

"Using original Zünd consumables offers measurable benefits to customers, including optimal cutting and finishing results with consistent and reproduceable cutting quality, and reduced waste from miscuts and rejects," said Zünd chief executive Oliver Zünd.

"The fact that Zünd consumables are designed specifically for use with Zünd cutting equipment means that the parts are a perfect fit with the machine, extending blade/bit life and guaranteeing highest performance levels from the equipment."
