Shear Blades

HIGH QUALITY SHEAR KNIVES BY BAUCOR.
MADE FROM SOLID CARBIDE, CARBIDE INLAY OR STEEL.

What are shear knives?

Shear knives are thin, flat-cutting tools used to cut sheet metal or other materials by applying a shearing force. They are typically made of high-grade steel and are used in various industrial applications, including press brakes, guillotine shears, and other machines that cut sheet metal or other materials by applying a shearing force.

Shear knives are typically designed to be precise and durable, and they may be coated with a hard material to improve their cutting ability and extend their lifespan. In addition to cutting sheet metal, shear knives can cut other materials, such as paper, rubber, or plastic.

Baucor manufactures and supplies both precision standard and custom size rotary shear blades and flat shear knives for most application. Our rotary shear blades and flat shear knives are exceptionally made from quality ground hardened tool steels and stainless steel as well as carbide.

Advantages of using shear knives

There are many advantages of using shear knives:

  • Precision:
    Shear knives are designed to be precise and accurate.

  • Safety:
    Shear knives produce fewer sparks and less heat, reducing the risk of fire or injury.

  • Efficiency:
    Shear knives can cut through materials quickly and with minimal waste, making them an efficient choice for high-volume cutting applications.

How are shear knives manufactured?

  • Cutting:
    Shear knives are typically manufactured by cutting the blade's blank from a metal sheet using a CNC machine.

  • Heating:
    After the cutting process, the shear knife is typically heat-treated to improve its strength and durability. It involves heating the knife to a high temperature and then rapidly cooling it.

  • Sharpening:
    Next, the knife is sharpened to remove imperfections and undergoes a grinding process to make the cutting edge sharper.
    ‎
  • Coating:
    The knife is then coated with chromium or tungsten to improve its cutting ability and extend its lifespan.
