Kit Contents and Components
The Kett Tool KIT #102 includes a full set of four pieces required for a complete blade overhaul:
- 60-21 Center Blade: The primary moving component that facilitates the double-cut action.
- 60-22L Left Side Blade: A fixed side knife for the left side of the shear head.
- 60-22R Right Side Blade: A fixed side knife for the right side of the shear head.
- 60-27 Spacer Bushing: A critical hardware component for proper blade alignment and movement.
Performance Specifications
According to manufacturers and retailers like Acme Tools, the blades feature the following capabilities:
- Material Construction: Made from high-grade A-2 tool steel that undergoes a heat treatment process for maximum wear resistance and durability.
- Cutting Capacities: Designed to cut up to 18-gauge cold rolled mild steel and up to 20-gauge stainless steel.
- Kerf Width: Removes a thin 7/32-inch waste strip, which absorbs all distortion to leave the finished piece clean and burr-free.
