Custom Industrial Slitter Knives
Slitter knives have a design meant to slit a wide range of materials in various applications. They find use in many industries because of their ability to cut materials such as paper, plastic and textiles. At York Saw & Knife, we sell straight knives and rotary blades. We can design blades for a variety of machine models and customize each result for our customers. If you need a knife for a slitting application, the York Saw team will partner with you to find a slitting knife solution that meets your needs.
Most slitter blades feature a beveled edge for optimal cutting power. A beveled edge allows a blade to slit material instead of creating standard cuts. When a slitting knife has the primary purpose of making punctures, it will have teeth. These teeth create smaller slits in progression, such as the ones found on tear-off paper products. Our sales engineers can help you determine which blade solution will work best for your application.
At York Saw & Knife, we manufacture all of our slitter blades in-house. As an original equipment manufacturer, you’ll appreciate our competitive prices and fast turnaround times that allow you to maximize your profits.
