Screw Locking Bottom Knives are designed with single-edge or double-edge configurations for different shear slitting applications. Single-edge knives have one cutting edge, while double-edge knives provide cutting edges on both sides for extended usability.
Unlike plain-bore bottom knives, these knives feature a locking screw with a brass insert that securely fixes the knife on the shaft. The locking mechanism can be easily loosened and tightened with a hex key, allowing quick knife positioning and adjustment.
This design is particularly suitable for applications requiring frequent slit-width adjustments. The knife position can be changed directly on the shaft without adding or removing spacers, improving setup efficiency and production flexibility.
Screw Locking Bottom Knives are used in labeling equipment, slitting machines, rewinders, and converting equipment for processing nonwovens, plastic films, metal films, paper, paperboard, laminates, labels, adhesive tapes, tissue, textiles, rubber, and other web materials.
Installed on the bottom knife shaft, these knives work with upper dished knives and knife holders to form a reliable shear slitting system. WINGCHONG KNIFE can also manufacture matching knife components for precise system compatibility.

Abrasive Cutting Knives are industrial cutting tools specifically designed for cutting abrasive rolls such as sandpaper and abrasive cloth.
Dished knives are circular cutting tools used for shear-type slitting. Unlike completely flat “flat knives,” their blades feature a concave geometric shape (resembling a plate or dish), a design that enables them to generate specific lateral cutting forces during rotational shearing.
Adhesive materials: Self-adhesive labels, adhesive tape, various composite films (die-cutting can create a temporary seal along the cut edges).
Elastic/soft materials: Rubber, non-woven fabric (NWF), textiles, tissue paper.
Abrasive/hard materials: Materials such as sandpaper that can quickly wear down standard sharp blades.
