K16e

Direct replacement for the Zund Z16 (3910306), with no holder modification needed. Single edge drag blade for through cutting on Zund flatbed cutting systems. 53.2° cutting angle and a max cutting depth of 0.291 in (7.4 mm).

Sold individually.

Direct OEM replacement

The K16e fits directly in place of the Zund Z16 (3910306). Same form, same fit, same geometry. No holder modification required. If your Zund runs the Z16 now, the K16e drops straight in. Not sure? Contact us before you order.

What is through cutting?

Through cutting means the blade cuts completely through every layer of the material, including any backing or liner. The cut piece separates fully from the sheet. This is a through-cut blade, not a kiss cut blade.

Economy grade

The K16e is the economy option in the K16 line. It has the same 53.2° single edge geometry and 0.291 in (7.4 mm) cutting depth as the K16, built for shops that run through blades quickly and want to keep a deeper stock on the shelf.

Common questions

How do I know this fits my machine?

The K16e replaces the Zund Z16. If your machine takes that part number, the K16e fits. If you are not sure which blade your machine takes, send us your machine model and we will confirm before you order.

What is the difference between the K16e and the K16?

Both blades share the same geometry: 53.2° single edge, flat stock, 0.291 in (7.4 mm) max cutting depth. The K16e is the economy grade. If you need the longest edge life on long production runs, look at the K16. Reach out if you are not sure which one fits your work.

How do I know when to replace it?

Watch the cut quality. Ragged edges, material tearing instead of cutting cleanly, or the blade dragging through the material all mean the edge is dull. If cut pieces are not separating cleanly from the sheet, replace the blade before it becomes a production problem.

Getting the most from your cutting table

A fresh blade is a good start. But if you are going through blades faster than expected, or cut quality has become inconsistent, the blade is rarely the whole story. Cut depth, speed, pressure, and machine condition all affect how long a blade lasts and how clean it cuts.

It is worth asking: When was your machine last serviced? Are your parameters dialed in for this material? Is this the right blade geometry for what you are cutting? Could your operators use time with someone who runs these machines every day?
