Types of Flatbed Cutting System Knife Blades

1. Drag Knife Blades – Designed for general-purpose cutting where the blade drags across the material.
2. Tangential Knife Blades – Used in systems with controlled rotation for higher precision.
3. Oscillating Knife Blades – Move up and down rapidly to cut through thick and dense materials like foam and rubber.
4. Rotary Knife Blades – Ideal for cutting fabric, leather, and other soft materials without pulling.
5. V-Cut Blades – Used for making angled cuts, typically for 3D cardboard structures.
6. Perforation Blades – Create a series of small cuts for easy tear-off applications.
7. Kiss-Cut Blades – Designed for cutting stickers and labels while leaving the backing intact.
8. Creasing Tools – Not blades but used in conjunction with cutting blades to score materials for folding.

Materials Used in Blades

• Carbide Blades – Extremely durable and used for cutting tough materials.
• Steel Blades – More affordable but may wear out faster than carbide.
• Coated Blades – Some blades have coatings (e.g., titanium) for extended life and reduced friction.

Choosing the Right Blade When selecting a blade, consider:

• Material Type: Ensure the blade can handle the thickness and toughness of the material.
• Blade Angle: Lower angles (30°-45°) for thin materials, steeper angles (60°+) for thicker materials.
• Blade Compatibility: Check compatibility with your flatbed cutter system.
