A cutting tool with a plurality of cutting elements connected to a support structure wherein a portion of the support structure is configured to flex or bend based on the rotational frequency of the cutting tool. The rotational frequency of the cutting tool is a product of the design and composition of the tool.

A new and improved cutting instrument is provided having an enhanced coating. The coating includes titanium, chromium, nitrogen and carbon elements and provides increased wear resistance. The coating can be applied to a variety of metal and non-metallic substrates, which include scissors and knife blades.

An insert of hard metal for an agricultural device, for example a grubbing share or a mower blade, having actively cutting areas that act in a cutting direction. Teeth are at least partially provided between the actively cutting areas, which viewed from above protrude over the actively cutting areas.

The modular cutter assembly for cutting composite material and for use in a composite placement machine wherein the cutter assembly includes a base and a cutting member. The cutting member being removably attachable to the base by a mechanical connection.

The invention concerns a device and a method for guiding the blade (3) at the cutting end face (1a) of the guide tube (1) by means of magnetic force in order to bring the cutting spacing as close as possible, if possible to zero. According to the invention, the magnetic force is applied to the blade only towards the end of the cutting process of the slice (101), i.e. near the outlet side (2a) of the cutting edge (3a) from the guide tube cross-section (1.1, 1.2).

A cutting apparatus for hair or fiber protruding from a surface includes a roller, a number of cutting features disposed at an outer peripheral surface of the roller, wherein the number of cutting features is adapted for cutting the hair or fiber when the roller rotates in contact with the filamentous surface or is moved while in contact with the filamentous surface.

The present invention relates to a method for making an anvil roll, the method comprising the steps of: providing a cylindrically-shaped body consisting of a first material, wherein the first material is selected from the group consisting of: an iron alloy, an aluminum alloy, and a titanium alloy, and wherein the body comprises an outer circumferential surface; adding one or more metallic materials in the form of powder; and fusing, by applying power from a laser source, the one or more metallic materials to the outer circumferential surface of the body to form a plurality of protrusions having a conical or frustro-conical shape comprising tapering sides, from a broader base at the outer circumferential surface tapering outwardly towards a narrower tip or having a cylindrical shape.

A tool for use with wrapping paper is manufactured by a process comprising the step of causing a 3D printer to make the tool using an instruction file which is accessible to the 3D printer. The instruction file includes instructions for a hardware processor which define actions to be taken at and by the 3D printer to manufacture the tool. The tool manufactured in accordance with the instruction file comprises a unitary, plastic stick having a length which extends along an axis of elongation, a broad surface, a bracing surface, and first and second opposing sides extending along the length, separated by a width which is substantially less than the length. The first aide has serrations defined in the plastic stick adjacent the bracing surface. The second side has a non-serrated edge defined in the plastic stick proximate to the bracing surface.

Puncture elements and methods for using the same are disclosed. The puncture elements according to the disclosed concept include a cutting edge or a sharp and are composed of a mineral loaded polymer. The minerals of the mineral loaded polymer include an active agent, such as a desiccant. Optionally, the puncture elements are used to puncture a cover (e.g., foil seal) of a package.

A cutting apparatus and a cutting blade is capable of restraining a highly-viscous substance from bending while preventing damage to a blade edge part. A pair of the cutting blades are configured for an approaching/separating movement, and the cutting blades are arranged with blade edge parts facing each other while having thickness directions oriented in the same direction. The cutting blades each have a gradually increasing thickness increased from a blade edge leading end toward a blade root part and have blade edge parts that are offset from one another in the thickness direction of the cutting blades. Each of the cutting blades has a surface in the thickness direction made of a material having a hardness lower than the blade edge part of the other cutting blade.
