Tool Compatibility Information
These blades are designed for use with Kongsberg X and C series tools, including the Rigid Material Knife.
Typical kits often include two of each blade model, allowing for adaptable configurations in FlexiHead or PowerHead setups.
Size Selection Guide
Choose the appropriate blade based on the material’s thickness and type: BLD-DR8160/8180 suits rigid or thicker materials up to 6mm; BLD-SR8170 is ideal for medium fibrous or gasket materials up to 6.5mm; BLD-SR8172 works best with thin, flexible materials under 4.5mm.
Certain variants, such as SR8170 C2, feature C2 coatings that extend blade lifespan six times while reducing friction by 60%, making them suitable for high-volume applications.
Ensure the cut length matches the job depth and test on scrap materials to achieve optimal speed and quality, particularly during ArtiosCAD workflows.
