Most Common Uses:

• Rubber and Tire Repair: Essential for trimming, patching, and reshaping rubber tires or belts in automotive shops, where the square point delivers clean, precise cuts to prevent material fraying and ensure secure repairs.
• Insulation Fabrication: Perfect for slicing foam rubber sheets or insulation in HVAC and construction settings, allowing technicians to achieve smooth edges for custom installations without tearing or compressing the material.
• Leather and Polymer Processing: Utilized in manufacturing for cutting leather hides, polymer slabs, or gasket materials, providing the stiffness and sharpness needed for high-volume production lines with minimal blade wear.
• General Industrial Maintenance: Ideal for field technicians modifying conveyor belting, vibration pads, or protective matting in warehouses and factories, offering portability and reliability for on-site adjustments under time constraints.
