XK-FG417 Fiber Blade | Fiberglass Strand Chopping | Carbon Steel | 178 × 15.6 × 0.85 mm

Description

The XK-FG417 is an industrial fiber chopping blade manufactured from hardened carbon steel and specifically designed for the continuous chopping of fiberglass strands and rovings.

With dimensions of 178 × 15.6 × 0.85 mm, the XK-FG417 features a long, robust blade profile. Its 15.6 mm width and 0.85 mm thickness provide excellent rigidity and dimensional stability within industrial chopping assemblies, helping maintain consistent cutting geometry during continuous operation.

The precision-ground carbon steel cutting edge provides high initial sharpness for efficient separation of fiberglass bundles. Clean cutting helps maintain uniform chopped strand lengths while reducing unnecessary strand deformation and fraying.

The XK-FG417 forms part of the dedicated XK-FG fiberglass chopping blade family. X-Keen specifies this range for fiberglass strand processing, including fiber-bundle chopping and applications associated with thermoplastic and thermoset composites and mat production.

Because fiberglass is highly abrasive, cutting edges are subjected to considerable wear. The XK-FG417 provides a cost-effective carbon steel solution for processes where high initial sharpness and economical blade replacement are important. Carbon steel offers excellent sharpness and competitive cost, although it has lower corrosion resistance than stainless steel or tungsten carbide and is therefore best suited to dry cutting environments.
