Cutoff blades and knives are used for many types applications such as:

*Plastic extrusion cutoff - a common process in which

extruded plastic material is cut to length at the end of the manufacturing process.

Many OEMs and sophisticated end users have improved the performance of their extrusion cut-off line by using a customized shape from Specialty Blades.

*Guillotine cutters or shears - typical cutting application in which

long or large film, foil, paper and non-woven products are cut into smaller or shorter parts as needed.

*Rotary tube cutoff - process that uses a rotating blade to cut plastic, rubber, or metal tubing to length.

Custom Considerations

If you did not see a blade for your application under our stocked items link, please consider the critical aspects of blade selection for use in extrusion or cut-off processes include:

*Material selection for max wear resistance vs. toughness

*Edge geometry to balance cut force with blade life

*Angle of cut determined by blade shape
