01 — Portfolio

One catalogue for the whole cutting line

High-alloy tool-steel blades and matched wear parts for stationary and mobile machines. Engineered to OEM geometry, or reverse-engineered from your worn part and sample drawing.

Added value

It isn't the price per blade. It's the cost per tonne cut.

A cheaper blade that changes out twice as often costs you more — in steel, in setup time, and in the production you lose while the machine is down. Lifetime is the real lever on cost efficiency.

  • 01Fewer changeoutsLonger edge life means fewer blade sets per tonne processed.
  • 02Less setup & downtimeEvery change-out costs production and labour — not just the part.
  • 03Higher productivityA blade that holds its geometry keeps throughput and cut quality up.

Schematic, not a quote. The mix of steel, downtime and labour differs by machine and material — which is exactly what we model with you before recommending a grade and geometry.

02 — Services

The blade is half the job

Specification, lifetime optimisation, re-welding and on-site support — the engineering around the part is where the lifetime is actually won.

Product advice

The right steel grade and geometry for your machine, material and duty cycle — not a one-size catalogue part.
