How to read Klein Item Codes: they hide a world of information

Sistemi is on the market since 1987, and we have been updating our product catalogue year after year reaching around 8000 item codes. Our Klein products including router bits, collet chucks, toolholders, spring collets, circular sawblades, measuring instruments are countless but they share the quality and accuracy in detail that is renowned in our business.


How to classify such a large number of items?

In this article we focus on Klein item codes, how they are listed or divided and what is the logic behind each code. It is a system that provides important technical information that is very useful when consulting the catalogue or website.
In addition, each item sheet on our website has a 360° video showing the entire tool to help the user during the entire purchase process.


The Coding of KLEIN Products: A Smart Solution

Each KLEIN product is identified by a unique alphanumeric code, composed of letters and numbers, commonly known as SKU in the 'digital world'. This code is not just a simple ID, but contains crucial information about the product's technical parameters. Let's take a closer look at how to read these codes.

Circular Sawblades Item Code example: FCT300.09630

Lets take the code: FCT300.09630
This item code identifies a circular sawblade, and each part of the code has a specific meaning:
•  FCT: This prefix identifies the family the product belongs to. In the case of FCT, this is a family of circular sawblades belonging to the brand ExtraCut.
•  300: this number represents the diameter of the blade in millimetres. In this example, the blade has a diameter of 300 mm.
•  096: This number refers to the number of teeth on the blade. The blade therefore has 96 teeth.
•  30: This number specifies the blade bore diameter in millimetres, which in this example is 30 mm.

All the Klein Sawblades on our website are coded according to this logic. With these important details, you can quickly find out the diameter, the number of teeth and the bore. These 3 parameters are essential to understand if the circular sawblade can be used on the machine we want to work.


In our catalogue there is also an index listing all circular saw blades in order of disc diameter, for quick consultation. On the website there is a filter system that allows us to exclude the blades and materials that do not interest us, while showing the circular saw blades we are interested in. DOWNLOAD AREA

•    L140.150.R and L140.150.L
•    L140: Hinge Boring Bit Family.
•    150: Diameter of the drill bit
•    Identify the direction of rotation. R = Right rotation L = Left rotation. Left-rotation drill bits always have orange character elements to highlight left rotation.

What is the size of the router bit shank?

It's easy, just see which letter the product code starts with.

•    A: A: 6mm shank
•    B: 6.4mm (1/4") shank
•    C: 8mm shank
•    D: 10mm shank
•    E: E: 12mm shank
•    G: 12.7mm (1/2") shank

Examples: G117.123.R, G = 12.7mm (1/2") shank; A117.060.R, A = 6mm shank; C101.190.R, C = 8mm shank
