Knife Maintenance & Regrinding

• For general improvement to cut quality and to reduce the amount of dust produced, it is important to regrind the knives to the correct specifications regarding : surface finish, axial runout and lateral runout.
• We are able to check and monitor all these aspects to ensure that the knife is ready for use every time.
• For optimum results, a surface finish of Ra 0.1 micron is recommended and radial and axial runouts of less than 0.025mm.
• If you choose to regrind the knives in-house, please ensure that all mandrels and shafts are turning precisely and that knives fit onto the mandrels without any play. The knives must also be supported and clamped correctly to ensure there is no deformation.
• Circular knives up 600mm diameter Straight knives up to 5500mm long.
