Industrial knives bevel types and applications
Industrial knives are widely used in a variety of industries, such as woodworking, paper, plastics, and metalworking. The angle of the blade is critical in determining its cutting performance. One important angle is the bevel angle or the slope of the blade often referred to as the blade angle or sharpening angle. Depending on the industry, different types of bevel angles are used to achieve desired cutting results. In this article, we will be discussing the different types of bevel angles and their applications.
1. Single-bevel angle - A single bevel angle is used for chisel-like blades. This type of blade has only one side for cutting. The blade is sharpened to form an angle on one side that ranges from 20° to 45°. This angle helps woodworking blades to achieve precise cuts in woodworking industries such as carpentry and cabinetry.
2. Double-bevel angle - A double bevel angle is used in two-sided blades such as scissors and knives. Both sides are sharpened to form a slope towards the blade's edge. The angle formed by each slope ranges from 15° to 30°. This type of blade is used in a variety of industrial knives such as paper cutting blades, food processing blades, and slitting blades.
3. Hollow-grind bevel angle - Hollow-grind bevel angle blades are sharpened with a concave edge. The blade will appear thinner at the edge than the blade's thickness at the spine. The angle formed by the bevel ranges from 10° to 20°. This type of blade is used in industries such as metal cutting, where the precision of the cuts is critical.
4. Convex-grind bevel angle - Convex-grind bevel angle blades are sharpened with a convex edge. The blade will appear thicker at the edge than the blade's thickness at the spine. The angle of the bevel ranges from 20° to 40°. This type of bevel is used texitle circular knives and the automotive industrial blades.
In conclusion, the type of bevel angle used in industrial blades is determined by the intended use of the blade. Each angle type offers different cutting performance advantages, depending on the materials and industries involved. For example, we supply customers in Poland and Egypt with double-bevel slitting knives for the packaging industry . In the meaning time, we also sell Germany customers the single-bevel guillotines for printing industry. SHJ knife can provide you with various bevel industrial blades, and has an experienced technical department to provide you with customized services.
