Eastman blades for your straight knife cutting machine feature an exclusive heat-tempering process that hardens the blade's cutting area while maintaining flexibility in the blade's tang. Every Eastman blade is precisely machined to hold critical tolerances of plus or minus .001 inches. The poor quality and inconsistent thickness of generic blades accelerate the wear and tear on critical parts such as the slides, crosshead and guides. A part that is only a few thousands of an inch out of tolerance can cause a major machine failure. The resulting increase in maintenance and down-time more than offsets the non-genuine blade's cheaper price.
