Millemetri Technik Kevlar Cutting Shears 24.5 cm
The Millemetri Technik Kevlar Cutting Shears 24.5 cm are high-quality industrial shears, specifically designed for the clean and controlled cutting of aramid fibers, composite materials, and heavy-duty technical fabrics. These cutting shears are part of the Technik Line from the Italian brand Millemetri, a product line renowned in demanding manufacturing sectors for its durability, material quality, and cutting precision. With a total length of 24.5 cm, a blade length of 10.5 cm, and a balanced weight of 154 grams, this model combines a long cutting line with a handy, agile handling.
The blades are made of high-quality stainless steel with a high carbon content, hardened to approximately 62 HRC. This hardness protects the cutting edge against premature wear caused by highly abrasive materials such as fiberglass and carbon fiber.
The scissors are equipped with a finely micro-serrated blade. This micro-serration grips smooth and strong threads immediately upon closing the blades, preventing the fabric from slipping and producing a clean, fray-free cut. As a result, the shears effortlessly handle demanding materials such as Kevlar, Dyneema, Spectra, Nomex, aramid fibers, and glass fabrics.
The ergonomically shaped handles made of impact-resistant nylon ensure even pressure distribution and effective leverage, allowing you to work with minimal hand force even during prolonged cutting tasks. Thanks to the adjustable screw connection, the tension between the blades can be precisely adjusted to prevent play and maintain consistent cutting resistance.
Benefits for the Target Audience
- Micro-serrated cutting edge to prevent slipping: Prevents smooth and tough fibers such as Kevlar and Dyneema from sliding forward during the cutting motion.
- Exceptional service life (62 HRC): The hardened, carbon-rich steel retains its cutting power significantly longer when in contact with wear-prone composite fibers.
- Ideal balance between reach and maneuverability: With a length of 24.5 cm and a weight of just 154 grams, the shears offer sufficient reach for long lengths of fabric, while being lighter and more maneuverable than heavier 26.5 cm models.
- Ergonomic nylon handles: Reduce strain on the muscles and joints in the hand during long production shifts.
- Precisely adjustable blade tension: The screw connection allows for fine-tuning to ensure a consistently backlash-free and smooth operation.
- Consistent industrial precision: Ensures a clean, straight cut without fraying on both single-layer and multi-layer technical textiles.
Instructions for Use and Maintenance
- Cutting technique: Use the full blade length of 10.5 cm for long cuts and guide the scissors evenly through the material; let the micro-serrations grip the fabric without twisting the blades sideways.
- Adjusting blade tension: Regularly check the resistance between the blades. If necessary, tighten the central adjustment screw slightly when you feel play, or loosen it slightly for a smoother stroke.
- Cleaning: After use, remove dust and fiber residue with compressed air or a dry cloth. If the blades come into contact with epoxy, prepreg, or resin, clean them immediately with a cloth moistened with alcohol or acetone and dry them thoroughly.
- Maintenance: Periodically apply a drop of light machine oil around the screw shaft and the pivot point. Use the shears exclusively for technical fibers and textiles; never cut steel wire or sheet material to keep the fine teeth intact.
Who is this product suitable for?
- Composite fabricators and model builders: Those who need to quickly and precisely cut fiberglass, carbon fabric, and vacuum films to size for molds and laminates.
- Aviation, defense, and automotive specialists: Workshops where ballistic materials (Kevlar, Twaron), Nomex, and aramid coverings are processed daily.
- Sailmakers and riggers: Professionals who fabricate Dyneema lines, webbing, and modern sailcloth.
- Industrial workshops and upholsterers: Who work with heavy-duty industrial fabrics, insulation fabrics, and heat-resistant textiles.
The Millemetri Technik Kevlar Cutting Shears (24.5 cm) deliver professional cutting performance for working with demanding composites and technical textiles. Thanks to their 62 HRC hardened steel, effective micro-serration, lightweight 154-gram construction, and ergonomic nylon handles, these shears are a precise, reliable, and durable tool for daily industrial use.
