Professional Sheet Metal Guillotine Blade Sharpening
We provide comprehensive shear blade sharpening with precise ground angles and a smooth surface finish. Our complete sheet metal guillotine blade sharpening service addresses both cutting surfaces and all four edges, restoring blades to a like-new performance.
When visual wear progresses, you might also observe:
Increased vibration or noise during operation
Blades require more force to cut through metal creating stronger forces than needed for a clean cut.
Material tearing or deforming rather than clean cutting.
Blades no longer create a clean shearing line, as dulled edges cannot initiate the correct metal penetration.
Blades wander or deflect during cuts
Dull or damaged sections of the blade encounter varying resistance, causing thickness variations near the cut line.
Metal Shear Blade Maintenance Guidelines
For light-use applications, we recommend metal shear blade sharpening every 6 to 12 months. However, regular inspection is crucial for optimal performance and blade longevity.
Operators should routinely examine guillotine shear blades for early warning signs of wear, including:
- Dents or chips along the cutting edge
- Rounded or dull edges
- Burrs or metal buildup on cutting surfaces
Don’t wait until blades are completely dull. Early intervention preserves more blade material during the grinding process, extending the overall blade life and maintaining a good cut quality.
Our Complete Metal Shear Blade Sharpening Service

- Preserve correct blade thickness and width
- Ensure parallelism between cutting edges
Our expert metal shear blade sharpening and grinding service delivers exceptional value through competitive pricing and short turnaround times for all metal processing industries.
Not only do we your blades restore peak cutting performance, but we also facilitate shear blades rotation and flipping, maximising your equipment investment by releasing the full potential of each shear blade set.
For an optimal blade performance, an early intervention is essential. Waiting until blades are severely dulled significantly complicates the restoration process, requiring more aggressive grinding that removes excessive material and shortens the overall life of the blade.
By scheduling your sheet metal guillotine blade sharpening at the first signs of performance decline, you’ll:
preserve more blade material
extend service lifetime
maintain a superior cut quality throughout the blades lifespan
