Frequently asked questions
Up to which diameter can a knife be reground?
On slititng systems with individually adjustable knife holders, this is possible as long as the lower knife is still overlapped. Depending on the application, it may be necessary to regrind the double bevel, as it becomes wider as a result of the permanent regrinding.
Shall I regrind one knife or all of them?
In cutting systems with several knives on a common shaft, grinding must be done in sets. This means that all knives must be ground to exactly the same diameter at the same time. In practice, a complete set of knives is reground so that there is an even overlap of the lower knives across the entire width of the system.
What must be taken into account?
When regrinding a knife, only as much metal should be removed as is absolutely necessary to eliminate the wear ring and restore a sharp, defect-free cutting edge, with the appropriate profile. It is essential to avoid heating the knives during resharpening, otherwise the hardness at the cutting edge will be reduced. It is particularly important to remove the grinding burr before the knife is used again. If this is not done, microscopic metal particles will break out of the cutting edge very quickly. The cutting edge should be ground with the lowest possible roughness.
Can’t I do this myself?
Research shows that blade life can be significantly extended by using optimal regrinding procedures and the lowest possible surface roughness. To ensure that the reground knives provide an unchanged clean cut and can be used for as long as possible, a number of parameters are important. For example, the use of accurate clamping devices when grinding the knives is of utmost importance. Depending on the material to be cut, knives have an adapted knife geometry with corresponding cutting angles. This is where specialist expertise is required. In view of these crucial points, it makes absolute sense to rely on the know-how, technology and years of experience of the DIENES plants.
We at your side
The quality of the cut edge and the service life of the knives depend to a large extent on the care with which the knives are set. To achieve the best cut and the smallest cutting burr, there is an optimal knife setting for each type of material and thickness.
