LONG-LASTING AND DURABLE WILSON™ BRAND TEXTILE AND CLOTH BLADES DELIVER CLEANER AND LOWER COST CUTS THAN COMPETITIVE BLADES
Southbridge, MA (April 6, 2010) — For the cutting of fine fibers to futuristic man-made materials, Wilson™ Brand Blades from Hyde Industrial Blade Solutions (IBS) outperform competitive blades in initial cuts and long-lasting durability. Wilson Textile and Cloth Blades last up to 72% longer than other manufacturers' blades in long-term cost per cut comparisons.
In ISO #8442-5-2004 standardized testing versus all major competitors, Wilson blades were shown to be 20% sharper than competitive blades "out of the box" resulting in cleaner cuts and longer blade life. Engineered for use on manual cutting equipment and fully automated CNC controlled production lines, Wilson Textile and Cloth Blades deliver a better value by extending the number of cuts per blade and significantly reducing the number of costly cutting machine blade changes and production line downtime.
A wide range of Wilson Textile and Cloth Blades is available from Hyde to cut a broad array of materials from garment fabrics designed with natural or man-made fabrics or leather to carpet and upholstery in commercial cutting applications. Slitter, shear, guillotine, ledger and mill blades, bias slitters, die knives and hand knives are available for manual or automated use on textile cutting equipment from all major manufacturers. Specially designed hollow-ground knife edge designs discourage binding delivering superior, cleaner cuts.
Hyde IBS Hand Blades and Knives have been used by professionals and tradesmen since 1875 to hack, pry, cut, shear, trim, slit or slice virtually all types of materials including the finishing of durable hydraulic hose. These blades are precision ground for maximum cutting leverage and reduced binding through the cut in applications such as hand trimming of molded tire pin vents, cable preparation, rubberized roofing installation and more.
Hyde IBS Hose and Tube Blades come in a variety of stocked standard shapes and sizes. Blades are available in "straight bevel" or "wavy scallop" edges and are designed to maximize yields based upon a processor's application.
