Professional Tips On Working With Construction Knives from Sollex

TOP TIP.

Replace the blade as soon as it loses its sharpness to prevent damage to the material and reduce the effort involved.

TIP 1.

Choose the blade that best suits your work. Thinner blades allow you to cut through sheet metal with less effort.

TIP 2.

Thicker blades are stronger and are ideal for cutting, for example, carpeting where you may need to apply some lateral force.

TIP 3.

To prevent burrs in the material being cut, always use a sharp blade and angle it slightly to the surface of the material.

Use a sharp blade and don't forget about hand protection

TIP 4

When cutting wet paper and plastic sheeting, use a blade with a convex cutting edge; when using a straight-edged blade, position it at a slight angle to the surface.

TIP 5.

A curved profile ruler with a channel to protect your fingers is desirable for cutting with a steel guide.

TIP 6

When cutting a stack of sheet material, it is preferable to make more light cuts rather than less but with more force.

TIP 7.

Use a cutting mat for cutting thin materials.

Use always a cutting mat for better cutting results
