Notched blades, also referred to as toothed blades, are used in a host of applications. One major industry that utilizes notched blades is the food packaging industry. For example, a toothed blade can be used to cut a zig-zag edge for packets of coffee so that they are easy for the consumer to rip open. If you're a high-volume food packager, have you checked out your notched blades recently? Having high-quality blades can not only affect your production speed, but also the safety and efficiency of your employees. At Specialty Blades, we've been supplying companies of all sizes with precision-honed cutting blades since 1985. We understand the importance of long-lasting, high-quality blades intimately--we even custom-make notched blades for our customers' specific needs. Because our blades are created to resist friction, wear, and corrosion, you can be assured that you are purchasing a superior product that will ultimately benefit your business's bottom line. Different notch angles and pitches can greatly affect the cutting action of the blade. For example, some notched blades are specifically used to create perforations--think movie tickets, magazine order cards, or easy-tear plastic packaging. Alternatively, a toothed blade may be needed when sharp points are necessary to pierce thin, resistant materials--for example, skin-like, stretchy plastics. Specialty Blades's process is top-notch because we utilize Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machinery for our custom-made blades. Because we can control the grinding and honing of our blades precisely, we ensure utmost quality and purity of design. Also, we can sharpen materials beyond the standard steels available in strip form. We invite you to discuss your business's needs with us--give us a call at 1-800-252-3371 toll free (local customers, please call 540-248-2200) or email us.
