Grinding Circular Knives and Round Knives
Machine knives such as circular knives, also called round knives, are round industrial knives that can often be reground to maintain their cutting ability. Grinding circular knives and round knives helps keep purchase costs low without compromising on quality. Industrial knives such as circular knives are machined using special cylindrical grinding machines to ensure their optimal cutting performance.
Important aspects when grinding circular knives:
Precision: Grinding must be precise to preserve the original cutting geometry.
Material: Depending on the material of the circular knives (e.g., tool steel or carbide), different abrasives are used.
Abrasives: Diamond or CBN abrasives are commonly used for hard materials because they are durable and effective.
Grinding angle: The correct angle is crucial for cutting quality. This is usually set based on the original geometry or a technical drawing.
