Paper Cutting Tools: Choosing Blades for Every Paper Converting Process
Paper converting blades compared: guillotine knives, slitter knives, multi-groove blades and rewinder knives, with steel and bevel guidance.
Paper converting covers guillotines, slitters, rewinders and sheeters. Each machine expects a different blade shape, bevel and steel, and using the wrong family shows up immediately as dust, waviness or short knife life.
Guillotine and Sheeter Knives
Guillotine knives cut stacks against a cutting stick. Bevel angle controls how the stack compresses during the cut — a shallow bevel cuts soft stocks cleanly, while tougher laminated stacks prefer a stronger edge angle. Sheeter knives run the same logic at line speed.
Slitter Knives and Multi-Groove Blades
Rotary slitter knives cut the web into lanes. Multi-groove blades carry several cutting edges in one knife, so operators reposition instead of changing knives between runs — a simple way to lift machine uptime on short-run work.
Rewinder Knives
Rewinder blades trim and slit tissue and paper webs at the rewinder, where cleanliness matters as much as sharpness. See slitter rewinder blades for top and bottom knife pairing.
