So, there is no magic solution to blade choice when cutting varied metals
Harden and temper guillotine blades to 57/58 Rockweld increases abrasion resistance, increases periods between regrinds, but the blade is more likely to chip when cutting stainless steel, durbar or high tensile steels. Harden and temper blades to Rockweld 55/56, then chipping is less of a problem, but abrasion resistance is reduced, shorter periods between blade regrinds are experienced.
3.) For the cutting of mixed carbon steels, stainless steel, durbar, high tensile strength steel above 6mm material thickness, then we recommend your metal cutting guillotine blades are manufactured from ‘Grade 2631 shock-resistant steel’ hardened and tempered to 57/58 Rockweld [ chipper quality ]
But again these shock-resistant guillotine blades have a downside, this being that this grade of steel quickly loses its crisp sharpness, therefore whilst your metal cutting guillotines cutting capacity range indicates that you can go down to 22swg or 18swg etc,
the lack of a good crisp sharp edge may prove to make the guillotine not suitable for cutting of such thinner materials
