The K6 is a drag blade built for kiss cut work on self-adhesive vinyl, masking film, transfer paper, magnetic media, and similar flexible sheet goods. It runs on a round stock form and cuts to 0.102in (2.6mm) deep in a single-edge configuration.
What is kiss cutting?
Kiss cutting means the blade cuts through the face material without cutting through the liner underneath. The finished piece peels cleanly from the sheet. The K6 is built for kiss cut work. It is not a through-cut blade. If you need to cut completely through all layers including liner, a different blade geometry is the right call.
Fine grain tungsten carbide
The K6 is ground from fine grain tungsten carbide. Carbide holds an edge longer than steel, which matters on long production runs or abrasive media. You get more cuts per shift before edge quality degrades enough to affect output. On high-volume kiss cut work, that adds up.
Common questions
How do I know this fits my machine?
Contact Flatbed Tools before you order if you need a fit confirmation for your specific machine and tool holder. We can confirm fit by model and holder type. [OEM part number references to be added once team provides cross-reference data.]
What materials does it cut?
The K6 is rated for self-adhesive vinyl, polycarbonate, polyester, masking film, window prep vinyl, magnetic media, transfer paper, and 3M VHB. For thick rigid materials or applications that require cutting through the liner, a different blade is the better fit. If you are not sure, reach out and we will confirm.
What do the two blade angles mean?
The K6 features a 60-degree cutting angle and a 20-degree wedge angle. The 60-degree cutting angle helps the blade track through film and vinyl with reduced drag, while the 20-degree wedge angle delivers the sharpness and edge durability needed for clean detail work at production speed. Together they protect the liner while keeping cut quality consistent across the run.
How do I know when to replace it?
Watch the cut edge. When you start seeing drag, tearing, incomplete separation from the liner, or ragged corners on detailed work, it is time to swap. Do not wait for a clean failure. A dull blade costs more in reruns and wasted media than the blade replacement itself.
