Standard cutting blades are typically designed for simple polymer tubing. When applied to braid-reinforced tubing, however, they can catch the embedded wires instead of slicing cleanly through them. 

Learn how one company solved the issue by switching to a blade designed specifically for braid-reinforced tubing. During a four-week trial, the manufacturer observed dramatic improvements:


• rework eliminated
• significantly fewer blades required•
 consistent clean cuts


Most importantly, technicians wereable to move directly from cutting to assembly without additional corrective steps.
