What are the differences between the iECHO E74 and E13 blades
The main differences between the iECHO E74 and E13 blades are as follows:
iECHO E74C Blade
· Made of solid tungsten carbide with extreme durability.
· Designed as a very fine, delicate drag blade with minimal overcut, optimized for cutting small radii and intricate details.
· Maximum cutting depth is about 20mm.
· Typical applications include foam board, ABS plastic, plastic corrugated board, corrugated paper, cardboard, grey cardboard, carpet, seal ring, carbon fiber prepreg, and similar materials.
· Blade dimensions: approximately 52mm height, 46mm width, 1mm thickness, with a 45° cutting angle.
· Classified as a drag blade, flat, V-cut type.
iECHO E13 Blade
· Also made of tungsten carbide but with different dimensions.
· Blade size: length 50mm, width 8mm, thickness 1.5mm.
· Designed for general cutting tasks but with a thicker blade compared to E74.
· Suitable for similar materials but likely less specialized for very fine, intricate cuts due to larger thickness.
· Classified as a tungsten steel blade, drag blade type.
