Cold shear blades

Cold shear knife selection considers the material and section, cutting temperature, shear design and knife geometry together. Hot and cold cutting are not interchangeable applications. Share your drawing and process conditions to establish model suitability.

PRODUCT SELECTION GUIDE

Material and mounting selection for cold shear knives

When requesting cold shear knife manufacture for a metal processing line, identify the work material and section. Comparing catalog models with the existing machine drawing helps establish the right knife family and order scope.

Define the cutting conditions

Sheet, bar and profile sections do not present the same cutting load. Actual operating temperature and observed impact or wear help assess knife material. Hot and cold shear knives should not be assumed interchangeable.

Geometry means more than outer dimensions

Show mounting holes, recesses, seating faces and cutting-edge orientation on the technical drawing. Identify components working with the opposing knife and the quantity required. The approved drawing becomes the shared reference for manufacture.

Before requesting a quote

How should I describe the metal for a quotation?

Provide its grade where known, section shape and dimensions. You can add photographs of the existing knife to the drawing; the general description metal does not provide enough detail for selection.

Do matching outer dimensions confirm fit?

Not alone. Hole spacing, recess shape, section and edge position also need confirmation. A catalog dimension is not automatic approval for your machine.

What if my existing knife wears prematurely?

Share photographs of the worn area, the material processed and working conditions. These are assessed together; simply increasing hardness is not a promised remedy.

Discuss your requirements ↗

From technical enquiry to manufacturing scope

01

Share your requirements

Describe the machine, material being cut, knife dimensions and quantity. Attach a drawing or a photo of the existing knife if available.

02

Assess the technical scope

Consider the product group, mounting details, material and operating conditions together. Clarify any missing information during the technical discussion.

03

Define the work stages

Define the manufacturing, machining or maintenance steps needed. Discuss dimensions, inspection and documentation requirements within the quotation scope.

04

Plan inspection and the next step

Clarify the agreed acceptance criteria and delivery scope. For technical questions during use, contact us with the product code and application details.
