What are circular blades?
A circular blade is a cutting tool consisting of a metal disk with a sharp edge rotated at high speed. They are used in various applications, including cutting plastic, paper, wood, metal, and other materials. There are different types of circular blades, each designed for specific applications.
Circular blades are made from carbon steel, stainless steel, and tungsten carbide. The intended application of the blade defines the type of material used. For example, carbon steel blades are usually used for cutting wood, while stainless steel blades are better suited for cutting metal.
If precision, quality and short lead time all matter, you are at the right place. Baucor manufactures and supplies literally thousands of both standard and custom size precision circular knives and circular rotary blades for all kinds of use from slitting, cutting and perforating to rewinding. Whether you need a top and bottom or dished circular blade or a circular knife with toothed, serrated, scalloped, perforation and saw tooth forms, or even more complex tooth forms, Baucor can turn your design into a blade in just days. It doesn't matter if it's paper cutting, food slicing, packaging, rubber converting, meat chopping, film cutting or foil converting, regardless of its use, our circular knives and blades are exceptionally made from quality ground hardened tool steels and stainless steel as well as carbide.
The manufacturing industry is in a constant state of evolution, driven by the relentless pursuit of higher quality, greater efficiency, and increased productivity. At the forefront of this revolution is CNC machining, a technology that has fundamentally transformed the way we design and produce components across a myriad of industries. CNC tools are the unsung heroes of this transformation, enabling manufacturers to achieve levels of precision and speed previously unimaginable.

How circular blades are manufactured?
-
Cutting:
The manufacturing process for these blades begins with cutting the desired shape from a metal sheet. This process is typically done with a CNC machine.
-
Heating:
Next, the blade is put through a process called heat treating that involves heating to a very high temperature and cooling rapidly to harden the steel and make it stronger.
-
Brazing:
An optional process that is used for welding small pieces of metal to the toothed circular blades.
-
Sharpening:
Once the desired shape of the blade has been obtained, it must be sharpened to remove any imperfections. And to create the bevel, which is the blade's sharp edge. Finally, a grinding process is used to refine the blade's edge and make it even sharper.
-
Coating:
The blade tips can also be coated with different materials to help improve resistance to wear or corrosion.
