Cutting knives – durability

Problem case

Which factor have an impact on the durability of cutting knives?

The type of tooth, the tooth pitch, the chamfer, the raw material, the setting and the cutting stick all have an influence on the durability of cutting knives.
 
At TKM, we have carried out series of tests on each parameter and documented the effect on the durability.

Solution

Our recommendation: 
With the TKM S3 cutting knife, you will achieve a durability, which is 8 times higher compared to cutting knives made of spring steel with the correct immersion depth in a Vulkollan D15 92 Shore cutting stick.
