A good metal shear blade RFQ saves time on both sides. The more complete the machine, material, thickness, dimensions, mounting and cutting-condition information, the faster the technical review and the fewer the questions.
Metal Shear Blade Applications
Our brochure information covers shear blades for stainless steel, steel sheet and other metal and non-metal materials. The brochure describes a cutting thickness range of 0.1–30 mm; this is a brochure-described range and must be confirmed for each application, machine and material.
Material and Thickness Information
Brochure material options for shear blades include SKD11, 6CrW2Si, 9CrSi, H13, Cr12MoV and SLD (7Cr7Mo2V2Si). The final grade depends on the metal grade, strip thickness, cutting speed and blade geometry, and is confirmed against the machine and cutting conditions.
Dimensions, Holes and Mounting Details
Include the overall length, width and thickness of the blade, the number and position of bolt holes, any locating surfaces, and how the blade is mounted in the shear. The edge angle and clearance settings also affect the cut.
What to Include in a Metal Shear Blade RFQ
Provide the machine brand and model, material being cut, strip or sheet thickness, cutting speed, blade position, dimensions, holes, edge angle, quantity and any drawing or worn sample. For blades produced from drawings, CAD files or worn samples, see our page on custom industrial blade manufacturing.
Replacement Blades for Repeat Orders
Approved shear blade specifications are kept as the production reference, so repeat orders start from a confirmed drawing rather than a new measurement.
Request a Metal Shear Blade Quote
A typical MOQ starts from 10 pieces and typical production lead time is around 40 days, subject to final specifications and production schedule. Send your drawing, worn sample, machine model, material and required quantity for review.
Shear blades are straight machine knives in practice, so our straight blade selection guide covers geometry and material factors that also apply to metal shear blades.
