    For more specialized cutting processes, non-standard machine blades may be required. At Precision Edge we offer knife grinding services including surface grinding, labelling and finishing, and machine knife regrinding. Whatever blades you need for your production or packaging processes, you can find them here.

    In some cases, our clients ask us to modify existing designs to yield superior performance or to better fit the constraints of their particular application. Our precision grinding equipment allows us to supply tools to specifications which are unavailable off the shelf. At other times, a simple knife regrind is all it takes to get your machinery up and running at full capacity once again.

    It is when faced with a demanding technical challenge that our design team really come into their own. We specialize in troubleshooting difficult processes, and our blade grinding capabilities are key to our ability to realise systems which are designed around the requirements of your products and your business, rather than the other way round. When you contact the system design specialists at Precision Edge, you are drawing on decades of experience with tooling for manufacturing and packaging, coupled with the facility to envisage and create bespoke knives and blades for unparalleled results.

    As you would expect, our workshop makes full use of CNC grinding techniques to achieve the precision and uniformity only computer controlled processes can offer. A pair of surface and form grinding machines form the backbone of our workshop infrastructure, augmented by cylindrical grinding machines for circular knives and shafts. Bevel grinding is critical to achieving the optimal edge profile for any given blade; a carefully designed edge contributes to efficiency and longevity, and is one of the reasons we recommend customers contact our team for a consultation regarding any non-standard applications. Besides knife grinding, our workshop is also equipped to make complex special purpose jigs and fixtures for the manufacture of irregularly shaped components.

    A modern industrial knife grinder is a complex machine, capable of machining high quality metals to the finest of tolerances. But as sophisticated as these machines are, it is the skill and diligence of our technicians which have earned us an outstanding reputation among our customers. At Precision Edge it is our policy to invest heavily, not only in the latest high-tech machinery for our workshop, but also in the training of our exceptional personnel. For machine blade solutions with the highest levels of expertise and professionalism, make Precision Edge your first call for all your production and packaging machine needs.
