Can you recondition serrated slotting knives?
Yes, we can do this. Usually we recondition these once only.
How quick can you recondition worn knives?
Normal turnaround is 1-2 weeks, but if there is an urgent need, we provide a 24hr service. Please ask.
What is the typical manufacturing time on new knives?
Depending on the type of knife, this can vary greatly. For some simple knives, if not in stock, we need around 2-4 weeks. For serrated slotting knives typically we need up to 6-8 weeks. We can where necessary fast track an order to speed it through.
Can you make non-standard knives or parts, with special features?
Absolutely. Our technical design team can assist with a special requirement to suit your application. Ask about our enhanced knife features and special crease profiles.
What do you need to supply Shok Bloks for my machine?
We just require the upper slotting head detail, and lower slot knife dimensions. See our spec sheet for this.
What Shok Blok blade height do I need to use?
The blade heights are colour coded to indicate their mm height. We have a chart to assist in matching the blade with the board type. Also see the fitting instructions.
Can you visit to discuss our requirements?
Yes, we have a technical team who can arrange to visit and discuss your requirements in the UK and through our distributors and agents, we extend this to other countries – see our Contact Us page.
