What are straight or shear blades?
They are the blades responsible for the cross cutting of strip and sheet. They are mounted on shears, guillotines and cross-cutting lines (cut-to-length and cropping), and are made straight and to the exact length of each machine.
Materials we work with
- HSS (high-speed steel), conventional or powder-metallurgy (PM)
- 1.2379
- 1.2345
- 1.2990
- Stainless steel
Straight blade manufacturing service
Cross-cutting blades bring precision, durability and efficiency. Depending on the material to be cut, we manufacture blades for:
- Cutting high-yield-strength steels (up to 1500 N/mm²)
- Aluminium cutting
- Pickling-line cutting
- Galvanised cutting
- Stainless steel cutting
Features and tolerances of straight blades
Made to strict tolerances and designed for a long service life:
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Thickness tolerance | ±0.01 mm |
| Parallelism tolerance | ±0.01 mm |
| Flatness tolerance | ±0.01 mm |
| Hardness | 58–62 HRC depending on the application |
| Edge finish | Ground to Ra ≤ 0.4 µm: clean, burr-free edge |
| Maximum length | Up to 6 m |
| Part marking | Custom |
How to choose your straight shear blade
Every material and cutting process has specific needs. Before manufacturing, we consider:
- Material to be cut: type of steel, aluminium or stainless steel
- Maximum thickness and mechanical strength of the material
- Cut finish and acceptable burr
- Working conditions: temperature, lubrication and cycles per minute
- Usable blade length and shear dimensions
- Edge geometry: angle, bevel, single or double edge
Compatible with the leading shear manufacturers
We manufacture to drawing or from your original blade, compatible with shears and guillotines from the leading manufacturers in the metalworking sector, such as:
- Adira
- Axial
- Fagor
- Hidroeuropa
- LVD
