Millemetri Technik Kevlar Cutting Shears 26.5 cm
The Millemetri Technik Kevlar Cutting Shears 26.5 cm are professional industrial shears, specifically designed for the clean, controlled, and efficient cutting of aramid fibers, composite fabrics, and heavy-duty technical textiles. These cutting shears are part of the specialized Technik Line from the Italian quality brand Millemetri. With a total length of 26.5 cm, a blade length of 11.0 cm, and a weight of 210 grams, this tool offers a long, smooth cutting line and excellent leverage for demanding industrial applications.
The robust blades are 3 mm thick and made of high-quality, high-carbon stainless steel, hardened to approximately 62 HRC. This exceptionally high hardness ensures long-lasting sharpness, even when regularly cutting highly abrasive fibers such as glass and carbon fiber.
A key feature of these shears is the finely micro-serrated cutting blade. These micro-serrations immediately grip smooth, extremely tough fibers, preventing the material from slipping between the blades or becoming distorted. As a result, the shears deliver a clean, fray-free cut in materials such as Kevlar, Dyneema, Spectra, Nomex, aramid, and fiberglass.
The ergonomically shaped handles, made of impact-resistant nylon, are designed to distribute pressure evenly across the hand and reduce fatigue during prolonged use. Thanks to the professional, adjustable screw connection, blade tension can be precisely adjusted to prevent play and optimize cutting resistance for the material being worked on.
Benefits for the target audience
- Micro-serrated cutting edge to prevent slipping: Prevents tough and slippery fibers such as Kevlar and Dyneema from being pushed forward as the blades close.
- Exceptional service life (62 HRC): The hardened, carbon-rich steel retains its cutting power significantly longer than standard scissors when in contact with wear-prone composite fibers.
- Stable 3 mm blades: The substantial blade thickness prevents the cutting blades from bending or twisting when cutting through multi-layer fabrics or thick technical fabrics.
- Long cutting length (11 cm blade): Allows you to quickly cut long, perfectly straight strips from wide rolls of fabric with minimal hand movements.
- Ergonomic leverage: The nylon handles (12.5 cm) provide a spacious and comfortable grip, allowing high cutting pressure to be applied with relatively little hand strength.
- Adjustable blade tension: The screw connection can be precisely tightened to ensure a consistently backlash-free and smooth operation.
Instructions for Use and Maintenance
- Cutting technique: Use the full length of the blades for long cuts and guide the scissors evenly through the fabric; let the micro-serrations do the work without applying excessive sideways pressure.
- Adjusting blade tension: Periodically check the tension between the blades. If necessary, use a suitable screwdriver to turn the central adjustment screw a fraction of a turn when you feel play, or loosen it slightly for a smoother stroke.
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose fibers and dust with a dry cloth or compressed air. When working with prepregs or resins, clean the blades immediately with a suitable cleaning agent (such as acetone or alcohol) and dry them thoroughly.
- Maintenance: Periodically apply a drop of light machine oil around the pivot point and the screw connection. Use the shears exclusively for textiles, fibers, and composites; never cut metal wires or sheet material to prevent damage to the micro-serrations.
Who is this product suitable for?
- Composite fabricators and boat builders: Professionals who work with fiberglass cloth, carbon fabrics, and vacuum films on a daily basis.
- Aviation, defense, and automotive specialists: Workshops where ballistic materials (Kevlar, Twaron), Nomex, and high-performance aramid linings must be precisely cut to size.
- Sailmakers and riggers: Craftsmen who work with heavy-duty laminates, Dyneema sailcloth, and technical lines.
- Industrial upholsterers and workshops: Those who fabricate heavy-duty industrial fabrics and heat-resistant textiles.
The Millemetri Technik Kevlar Cutting Shears (26.5 cm) deliver professional cutting power for the toughest technical fibers and composites. Thanks to its 62 HRC hardened steel, effective micro-serration, adjustable screw shaft, and ergonomic nylon handles, these Italian cutting shears are an indispensable and durable precision tool for industrial workshops and composite fabricators.
