K102

A direct replacement for the Zünd Z102 (5219049), with no holder modification needed. Single edge drag blade for through cutting on Zünd and Gerber / MCT flatbed cutting systems.

Sold individually.

Direct OEM replacement

The K102 replaces the Zünd Z102, OEM part number 5219049. Same form factor, same fit, same geometry. Drop it into the same holder you are running today. No modifications needed.

What is through cutting?

Through cutting means the blade cuts completely through all layers of the material, including any backing or liner. The cut piece separates fully from the sheet. This is the right blade for packaging, display board, foamboard, and thick flat materials where a full-depth cut is the goal. It is not a kiss-cut blade.

Fine grain tungsten carbide

Fine grain tungsten carbide holds a sharper edge longer than standard grades. In through-cut work on corrugated board, foamboard, and acoustic panels, that means cleaner cut edges and fewer blade swaps per shift.

Common questions

How do I know this fits my machine?

The K102 replaces the Zünd Z102, OEM part number 5219049. If that is the blade you are running today, this is the correct replacement. Not sure? Contact us before you order.

What materials does it cut?

The K102 handles corrugated board, foamboard, folding carton, felt, leather, display board, carpet, sandwich board, honeycomb, sandblasting mask, PET acoustic felt, varnish blankets, 3M VHB, Zintra, and Fsorb. If your application needs to cut through the face material while protecting the liner, that is a kiss-cut job and a different blade geometry is the right call.

What does flat stock mean?

Flat stock describes the blade's cross-section. A flat stock blade has a rectangular profile. A round stock blade is cylindrical. The holder type on your cutting system determines which form it accepts. The K102 is flat stock, matching the holder used by the Zünd Z102.

How do I know when to replace it?

Watch cut quality at the corners first. If edges are tearing rather than cutting clean, or material is dragging along the cut path instead of releasing, it is time to swap the blade. Corner closure quality is usually the first indicator.

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?
