Serrated, zig-zag and perforating blades for easy-open packaging, tear lines, film perforation and non-woven cutting. Tooth geometry ground to your pattern, with pitch and depth verified against your drawing before production.
Key features
Zig-zag, saw-tooth, wave and micro-perforation patterns
Tooth pitch from 0.8 mm, held within ±0.02 mm
No burr on the tear line — this is what decides whether the pack opens cleanly
Hardened and tempered for repeated perforation at line speed
Sample-first policy: we cut your film before shipping
Toothed and serrated blades are ground tooth by tooth on a profile grinder, so the tooth pitch, height and rake angle can be changed without a new tool. We match the tooth form from the old blade or from a sample of the material being cut.
In almost every case, either the tooth tips are too sharp for the film gauge, or the anvil is too hard. A tooth that is too sharp cuts through instead of perforating. We grind tooth tips with a controlled radius — typically 0.1–0.3 mm — matched to your film thickness. Send us a sample of the film and we will recommend the radius.
If you send a sample blade or a clear photo with the tooth count and pitch, yes. We produce to reverse-engineered geometry and will send a profile drawing for your approval before cutting steel. This protects both sides: you know exactly what you are getting, and we build exactly what you approved.
Yes — zig-zag tear blades for paper and composite bags are among our most common profiles, typically in SKD-11 at HRC 58–60. We also supply the matching anvil if you are rebuilding a used machine.
0.8 mm pitch is our standard floor. Below that, tooth strength drops sharply and the blade becomes fragile in handling. If your application needs finer perforation, the more reliable route is laser or rotary die cutting rather than a solid blade — we will tell you honestly if that is the case.
Yes. Tell us the tooth pitch you want — or send a piece of the material and we will recommend one. Tooth form is what decides whether the cut tears cleanly or drags.
Teeth are the thinnest part of the blade. Breaking means the tooth is taking load it was not designed for: too much feed, too little support behind the material, or a hardness that is too high for the tooth profile.
Not sure which blade fits?
Send a photo of the blade you use now with a ruler next to it. We will tell you the grade and the edge angle.
