Turn grind guillotine blades, continuing to use blunt metal cutting guillotine blades will generally result in burred edges on the cut pieces, probability of chipping the cutting blades, plus bending the steel sheet, i.e. not cutting it, resulting in the steel sheet to be cut jamming between the upper and lower cutting blades,
Long term its cost effective to keep your metal cutting guillotine blades in a sharp condition.
Our basic principles with regard to re grinding guillotine blades:
The reason for this is because, there is,
(a) limited guillotine blade gap adjustment,
(b) the guillotine blade sits upon a machined seating, if packing pieces are put in place behind the guillotine blade to compensate for the reduced guillotine blade thickness, this then positions the guillotine blade at the edge of the machined seating, or possibly off this machined seating and all cutting forces are placed upon the guillotine blades fixing bolts.
These are our recommendations, however you may have a different opinion, we will work according to your instructions
