Industrial Circular Slitting Blades

A practical guide to selecting industrial circular slitting blades by material, cutting method, blade grade, edge geometry and machine parameters Introduction The right circular blade does more than separate material. It determines edge quality, line speed, waste rate, blade-change frequency and the stability of the entire converting process. A blade that looks correct by diameter alone may still create burrs, dust, wrinkling, heat buildup or premature wear if its material, thickness, edge profile or mounting tolerance does not match the application. In industrial blade catalogs, the term “circular saw blade” is sometimes used broadly for round cutting tools. This guide focuses on industrial circular slitting knives and rotary blades used on slitter-rewinders and related produ...
