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.

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
