Bottom Knife

Shear-slitting machines use both top and bottom knives. The top knives are sometimes referred to as "male" knives while the bottom knives are the "female" versions. When used together in a shear-slitting machine, the top and bottom knives work against each other in a scissor-like action.

In order to get the cleanest, most precise cuts, your top and bottom knives must be strong and sharp. The material you are converting may rip, tear or not cut at all when your bottom knives are dull. This can result in lost time sharpening the blades and lost revenue in products you'll need to discard. It's essential that you have blades that are reliable and won't wear down easily.
