Trimming Knife Blade Stanley 50mm 1996

The Stanley 50mm 1996 Trimming Knife Blade is a pack of 100 precision trimming blades designed for accurate cutting in a variety of workshop and construction tasks. Each blade has a working width of 50 mm (actual blade width listed as 48 mm in technical dimensions) and a thin profile that helps achieve clean, straight cuts. The blades are intended for use with compatible trimming knives and are supplied in quantity to support repetitive tasks and frequent blade changes.

Advantages

These trimming blades offer a consistent sharp edge and a slim 0.6 mm thickness that balances rigidity and fine cutting performance. The pack quantity of 100 reduces downtime from blade changes on job sites or in busy workshops. The blades are made to deliver repeatable, precise cuts on materials such as paper, cardboard, vinyl, rubber and thin sheet materials. Their construction aims to resist chipping under normal trimming conditions.

How to use

Open the trimming knife according to the knife manufacturer’s instructions and insert a single blade into the blade holder so that it locks securely. Ensure the blade edge is oriented away from your body and make trial cuts on scrap material to confirm alignment. Use steady, even pressure when cutting and replace the blade when the edge dulls to maintain clean cuts. Dispose of used blades in a designated sharps container or follow local regulations for metal blade disposal.

Usage recommendations

For best results use these blades in compatible Stanley or industry-standard trimming knife handles that accept 50 mm blades. Wear appropriate hand protection and cut on a stable surface. Replace blades regularly to avoid tearing materials and ensure precise edges.
