Cutting Tools – Manufacturing and Grinding
Cutting tools are precision tools used for cutting, separating, slitting and shaping a wide range of materials. They are essential in numerous industrial applications, where precise cutting performance, dimensional accuracy and long service life are required.
Our cutting tools include machine knives, industrial knives, circular knives, slitting knives and other precision cutting tools. Depending on the application and the material being processed, the knives are manufactured from suitable tool materials such as carbon steel, chrome steel, tool steel, HSS, HSS PM or carbide.

Cutting Tools for Industrial Applications
The cutting principle depends on the material being processed and the specific cutting application. When cutting metals, for example, the cutting edge applies a precisely defined force to the material. The resulting deformation and fracture allow the material to be separated with a clean and controlled cut.
For non-metallic materials such as paper, film, foil, plastics, textiles or packaging materials, different cutting principles can be used. Depending on the application, knives may operate using a shear cut, crush cut, perforation or other specialized cutting methods.
The geometry of the cutting edge plays a decisive role. Factors such as cutting angle, edge geometry, knife thickness, hardness and material selection influence cutting performance, wear resistance and service life.

Manufacturing and Grinding of Cutting Tools
We manufacture and grind cutting tools for industrial applications according to customer drawings, specifications or samples. Depending on the requirements, we produce straight knives, circular knives and special cutting tools with customized dimensions and cutting geometries.
Precision grinding is particularly important for industrial cutting tools. A precisely ground cutting edge ensures consistent cutting performance and helps achieve the required dimensional accuracy and surface quality.
In addition to manufacturing new cutting tools, we also offer regrinding and refurbishment of industrial knives and cutting tools. Proper regrinding can extend tool life and reduce operating costs.
Materials for Cutting Tools
The choice of material depends on the application, the material being cut and the required service life.
Common materials include:

• Tool steel for general industrial cutting applications
• HSS for high wear resistance and demanding cutting applications
• HSS PM for applications requiring high hardness and toughness
• Carbide for highly wear-resistant cutting tools and long service life
• Special tool steels for specific industrial applications

We select the appropriate material and cutting geometry based on the individual requirements of the application.

Custom Cutting Tools
Industrial cutting tools are often subject to specific machine and production requirements. We therefore manufacture custom cutting tools according to drawings or samples, including special knife geometries, dimensions and cutting edges.
Whether for continuous cutting, slitting, trimming, perforating or other industrial applications, the cutting tool is designed and manufactured to match the respective machine and material.
