These come in a wide variety of sizes and shapes. The blades can be serrated, circular, long, short, and even made in odd shapes to conform to the necessary cutting application. Blades can be used for the Fiber and Textiles industries, Plastic and Converting industries, Paper and Pulp industries, Film and Foil industries, metal slitting and other industrial applications. Industrial blades are typically designed for specific well known machines within each industry. Like most blades, industrial blades are made in a variety of materials and steel grades.
