Industrial CNC Knife Cutting: Passive, Tangential, and Oscillating Systems Explained
CNC knife cutting systems are a proven solution for processing soft and semi-rigid materials with clean, precise results without the heat, burning, or dust associated with laser or mechanical cutting. Some knife cutting systems rely on the material itself to rotate the blade, while others use active control. Understanding the differences between passive, tangential, and […]
Two Ways to Slice: Drag vs Oscillating Knives in CNC
Modern CNC knife machines are designed to accept multiple tools in a single head: drag knives, oscillating blades, scoring tools, creasing wheels, perforation wheels, and many more. This flexibility allows shops to cut a wide range of materials and perform multiple job types on a single machine. At Specialty Machinery, we help manufacturers implement advanced […]
