What are shear knives?
Shear blades are slight, level slicing instruments used to cut sheet metal or different materials by applying a shearing force. They are commonly made of high-grade steel and are utilized in different modern applications, including press brakes, guillotine shears, and different machines that cut sheet metal or different materials by applying a shearing force.
Shear knives are typically made to be precise and long-lasting. They can also be coated with a hard material to make them better at cutting and to make them last longer. Shear knives can cut paper, rubber, and plastic, among other things, in addition to sheet metal.
For the majority of applications, Finetech Engineering offers precision standard and custom-sized rotary shear blades and flat shear knives. The ground hardened tool steels, stainless steel, and carbide used in the production of our rotary shear blades and flat shear knives are of the highest quality.

Circular Blades
Finetech Engineering produces precision circular blades in almost every shape and size possible using almost any material on the market.
Straight Blades
Finetech is equipped to produce industrial blades with precision, regardless of length, with the capacity and sophisticated ability to handle jobs up to 2500mm.
Advantages of using circular blades
The use of circular blades has several benefits:
- Greater efficiency in cutting through materials: When cutting through materials, circular blades can produce a cleaner cut and use less energy than straight blades.
- Compared to other blade types: circular blades produce less waste because they create a narrower aperture, which reduces material loss while cutting.
- Simpler to use (more stability): A circular blade requires less effort to manipulate since it merely needs to be rotated to the required speed before being used to cut through material. Furthermore, it is far simpler than using a saw or knife, which may be very challenging to operate.
How circular blades are manufactured?
- Cutting: The first step in making these blades is to cut a metal sheet into the appropriate shape. A CNC machine is usually used for this technique.
- Heating: The blade is next subjected to a procedure known as heat treatment, which involves quickly cooling after heating to a very high temperature in order to harden and strengthen the steel.
- Brazing is an optional method for joining tiny metal bits to circular, toothed blades.
- Sharpening: The blade needs to be honed to get rid of any flaws after it has reached the correct shape. further to produce the bevel, the sharp edge of the blade. Ultimately, the edge of the blade is sharpened even further by grinding.
- Coating: To aid increase resistance to wear and corrosion, the blade tips can also be coated with various materials.
