Bias Cutters

Alcon Post #3


Tool Highlight

96C150 model, 96 tooth Bias Cutter

Bias cutter knives were the first product made by Alcon Tool Company. These knives are used in the production of tires and other rubber products where raw rubber is laminated to a polyester or cotton fabric and then cut on the "bias" to the size required for processing down-stream.

These blades rotate at a very high speed which assists in reducing the amount of "pick-up" of raw rubber on the blade. These knives can be Teflon coated or chrome plated, which further reduces the amount of rubber on the blade. Sharpening between the teeth enhances the cutting action and reduces the amount of distortion to the laminated material. M-2 High Speed steel is used to maintain a sharp edge for as long as possible.

Alcon provides bias cutters with 48, 60, 72, and 96 teeth, with 48 and 72 teeth being the most common designs chosen. Of course, special designs are available.
