Cutting Sticks for Paper Cutting Knives

Matching Cutting sticks

Cutting sticks are used with Guillotine and Three-Way Trimmer knives. They need to have the right hardness, wear-resistance and tolerance. The proper penetration depth (< 0,01mm) is influencing the lifetime of the knife. It is recommended to turn or change the cutting stick regularly. TKM cutting sticks are fitting perfectly to the offered knife qualities.
