About Blade Materials:
Nearly all blades for paper cutters are actually two pieces of metal
permanently bonded together. The area along the cutting edge is made of a
strip of hardened steel or carbide that can withstand the forces of
cutting tall stacks of material. The harder material inlaid in the blade
also can stay sharper for much longer than the softer steels that makes
up the majority of the blade.
Each type of inlay has different characteristics:
Standard Inlaid- This material is made of a high quality Carbon Tool Steel that can withstand cutting of all standard paper materials.
High Speed Steel(HSS)- This very hard, high quality
material will perform similar to the standard inlay, but will keep a
sharp edge for up to 5 times longer between sharpenings. Less
sharpenings means more production, and less downtime from blade changes.
We recommend this blade for any high production cutter.
Tungsten Carbide(Carbide)-This amazing material will
last up to 10 times longer than the standard material between
sharpenings. Carbide can handle the toughest materials for much longer
than other blades. For optimum results, we recommend that your cutter be
in excellent mechanical condition and that you switch to a special
cutting stick material just for Carbide blades that we can supply.
