Jewel Blade terad
100% MADE IN SHEFFIELD ENGLAND – GREAT BRITISH BLADES
Established for over 90 years, Jewel Blade Limited is a world leader in the production of high performance precision blades for use in various industries. The UK manufacturer is located in Sheffield, England at the heart of the GREAT British steel industry and is justifiably proud of its long history and unique cutting edge manufacturing facilities.
Innovative XL Premium Range
The innovative XL Premium Range has been designed, developed and manufactured in Sheffield England to the highest of industry standards using a high quality Premium 1.25% Carbon Steel, which is utilised more commonly in the production of surgical blades.
In utilising this superior steel it increases the longevity and durability of the blades. ‘Achieve More with Less’
Premium Silver blades
- Made from high quality 1.25% Carbon Steel.
- Higher Carbon content means that the steel can be heat treated to a higher tolerance enabling us to get a razor sharp cutting edge.
- Polished Finish acting as rust inhibitor and enhances the slip factor when cutting therefore decreasing blade drag, reducing friction for a sharper feel and leading to a longer lasting product.
- Designed to be up to 4 x Sharper than standard blades.
- Blades stay sharper for longer subsequently reducing both user handling which in turn reduces the risk of accidental injuries and tool downtime, ensuring a more productive and cost effective blade.
- Range of user friendly packaging available.
- Remain sharper for longer.
Premium Gold blades
- Made from high quality 1.25% Carbon Steel.
- Titanium Nitride (TiN) Coating improves wear resistance and extends blade life.
- Titanium Nitride (TiN) Coating can increase cutting performance by up to 8 x depending on the cutting media when compared to other conventional blades on the market.
- Ideal for use when cutting abrasive materials e.g. LVT, 6mm Plywood, MDF, Artificial Turf and Roofing Felt.
- Superior polished finish for increased slip factor and higher resistance to rusting.
- Fewer blade changes minimises tool downtime meaning that more time is spent on the job in hand, providing the fitter with a higher yield.
- Range of user friendly packaging available.
- Titanium Nitride (TiN) Coating is chemically very inert with high hardness and low friction combined with moderate resistance to oxidisation. It is specifically designed to provide improve life span and performance thicker cutting edge.
How TiN coating is applied to our XL Premium Gold blades?
The Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating is applied by Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD). Our blades are jigged in a chamber for coating and it is applied through a process of electron beam evaporation under vacuum at a work piece temperature of below 500°C. The ceramic coating is a bright gold metallic colour in appearance and the thickness is geometry dependant at 1-4microns.
How the TiN coating works to extend blade life?
Titanium Nitride (TiN) reduces the coefficient of friction and therefore decreases the rate of blade edge deterioration.
