What are scoring blades?
Scoring Blades, otherwise called wrinkling edges, are utilized to make a shallow cut or space in a material. The motivation behind a scoring sharp edge is to debilitate the material along a particular line, making it more straightforward to overlay or curve along that line without tearing or harming the material.
High-carbon steel is typically used to make circular scoring blades. They are frequently utilized in the printing and packaging industries to produce folds in thin materials like paper and cardboard that are precise and clean, such as brochures, boxes, and cartons.
You’ve come to the right place if speed, quality, and precision are important to you. For a wide range of applications, Finetech Engineering supplies literally thousands of precision standard and custom-size score slitter knives and blades. Our score slitter knives and blades are exceptionally made from high-quality ground hardened tool steels, stainless steel, and carbide, regardless of their intended use—paper cutting, packaging, rubber conversion, film conversion, or foil conversion.

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.
