Frequently asked questions

Common questions

What does Teco Knives manufacture?

Custom industrial knives for cutting metal, stainless steel, aluminium, wood, paper, plastic, recycling and food, as well as spacers, rubber-coated spacers, dies, punches and laser part marking.

Do you manufacture to measure, to drawing or from a sample?

All three. A technical drawing is the best reference; if you don't have one, we work from a sample or your original part, even if worn, with technical advice at every stage.

What materials and hardness do you work with?

Tool steel (1.2379, 1.2345, 1.2990), high-speed steel (HSS), tungsten carbide and stainless steel. We choose the material and hardness according to what you cut and your production volume.

What tolerances do you achieve?

Down to ±0.01 mm in thickness, parallelism and flatness, and to the micron on circular knives and spacers for slitting lines.

What sizes can you manufacture?

From circular knives and small parts to straight shear blades up to 6 metres, in one piece or sectioned to suit your machine.

Are they compatible with my machine?

Yes. We manufacture to drawing or from your original blade, compatible with shears, guillotines and lines from the sector's leading manufacturers.

Do you offer knife regrinding and maintenance?

Yes. We regrind and recondition knives to recover their cutting geometry and extend their service life, lowering your operating costs.

Which sectors do you manufacture for?

Metal cutting (slitting and shears), wood, paper and board, plastic and film, PVC pipes, recycling and food, among others.

Where are you and which areas do you serve?
