The thickness of utility blades varies, with common ones being 0.4 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.6 mm, 0.7 mm, etc.
The thickness of utility blades directly affects their performance and scope of application. Thicker blades are generally more durable, less likely to break, and are suitable for cutting harder or thicker materials. Thinner blades may be more flexible, suitable for fine cutting or occasions where blades need to be replaced frequently. Common utility blade thickness specifications on the market include:
0.4 mm: This is a thinner blade suitable for occasions where fine cutting or frequent blade replacement is required.
0.5 mm: A medium-thick blade suitable for most daily cutting tasks, with both certain durability and good flexibility.
0.6 mm: A blade slightly thicker than 0.5 mm, providing better durability and suitable for moderate use.
0.7 mm: A thicker blade, very durable, less likely to break, suitable for cutting harder or thicker materials.
In addition, there are some special specifications of utility blades, such as NT-BVS-11P blade, which is 1MM thick and 14MM wide. It has strong penetration and is suitable for cutting hard objects or slightly thick objects. The thickness and width of this blade make it difficult to deform even when it is forced, and it maintains extremely high sharpness.
The material of the utility blade also affects its performance. Common materials include carbon tool steel (such as SK5 or SK2). Blades of these materials have good hardness and wear resistance, which can meet different usage requirements.
