The Summa T-Series (Tangential) blades represent a high-performance standard in precision digital cutting. Unlike standard drag knives, Summa T-Type blades are physically geared to fit inside the active motor-driven tangential heads of premium plotters like the SummaSign, Summa S Class T-Series (S1T, S2T, S3T), and Summa Twin systems
Technical Information:

Key Technical Specifications
-
Material Chemistry: Premium Solid Tungsten Carbide (often enriched with Cobalt). This extreme metallurgical hardness keeps the microscopic cutting edge sharp significantly longer than tool steel, minimizing blade replacement intervals.
-
Shank Shape: Flat/ridged tangential locking profile (exclusive to T-Style holders; will not fit standard "D-Series" or Roland-style round drag knife holders).
-
OEM Compatibility Check: Replaces or complements genuine Summa parts like the 390-534 (36° Tangential) or the 390-550 (60° Tangential) industrial variants.
Essential Software Configuration Reminder
Whenever you change your blade angle on a Summa T-Series plotter, you must update two parameters in your control panel or cutting software:
-
Knife Pressure (Grams): A vertical 60° blade requires noticeably higher downward force 200g - 300g or more depending on thickness) to cleanly penetrate tough media compared to a shallow 30° blade.
-
Blade Offset: Because the true cutting tip shifts relative to the central rotating axis depending on the angle, inputting the correct offset calibration ensures your rectangles have perfectly square corners instead of rounded or hooked paths.
