Reduce Blade Wear, Increase 
Profits

The first step is to determine what a healthy blade looks like. Healthy blade wear can be identified in the wear band as a smooth, straight, plane surface that is normal and uniform. Any other type of wear will indicate a problem. There are typically four major types of unnecessary wear issues: elliptical, concave, burrs or chips in wear, and smooth or rounded blades that are too dull for a proper slit. Each type of blade wear has its own cause and solution.
