Blade set catalog numbers are for two cutter blades packed in a matching set with corresponding fiber lock. They must be snapped apart before installation. They must only be used with their matching half to maintain precise cutting and stripping. Do not mix and match sets as this will decrease the accuracy of the blades and possibly damage them. See charts below for specifications and catalog numbers.
