GENERATION X² round-shank picks are distinguished by unique product properties that significantly reduce operating costs. Pick centring is improved and rotation behaviour is demonstrably optimised by an optimised wear plate with a special groove profile. This assures long-term cutting capability and guarantees best possible carbide utilisation. The groove profile also reduces lengthwise wear of the round-shank pick holder and extends service life by up to 25%.
Optimised carbide distribution
Solid steel body geometry
Reinforced wear plate with optimised geometry
Unique groove profile with innovative centring function
Field-proven WIRTGEN clamping sleeve
Optimised carbide distribution
The carbide tips of GENERATION X² picks impress not only with better cutting performance, but also with even greater stability. Both of which significantly reduce the risk of breakage.
Solid steel body geometry
The geometry of the solid steel body improves chip removal and significantly increase the service life of picks. The height of the head of the round-shank pick has been reduced to enable optimal use of the considerably thicker wear plate with its special groove profile. In addition, the increased steel volume in the wear-critical range also guarantees significantly longer service life of the cutting tool.
Reinforced wear plate with optimised geometry
The reinforced wear plate protects the toolholder against wear caused by abrasive milled material. What’s more, the flat wear plate geometry promotes improved rotation of GENERATION X² round-shank picks.
Unique groove profile with innovative centring function
The special groove profile with its innovative, improved centring function increases toolholder service life by more than 25%. With GENERATION X² round-shank picks, a centring profile is worked into the pick contact surface of the round-shank pick holder within fewer than 50 hours in service. This means that the advantage of GENERATION X² can also come into play when using conventional toolholders.
Field-proven WIRTGEN clamping sleeve
The field-proven WIRTGEN clamping sleeve ensures tight, precise and long-term clamping of the round-shank pick in the toolholder.

GENERATION X²: Carbide as a cutting material is the most economical solution, especially for milling non-homogeneous materials in which sudden impact load peaks can be expected. The universal GENERATION X² carbide round-shank picks are therefore the ideal solution for all applications – no matter whether the milling job involves soft asphalt, hard asphalt or concrete.

GENERATION X²: The multi-talented round-shank picks
The practical GENERATION X² colour coding system makes choosing the right pick for the job even faster. The various carbide sizes are coded with different colours (e.g. W1-10-G ... = black, W6 ... = orange etc.). The letter G (for ‘Groove’) displayed on the pick icon enables immediate identification of picks with an extractor groove.
