  Variable Spaced Blade (12599)
  The following table shows the segment area in square mm for each of the segments in the variable spaced multi-tooth crosshatch pattern. The variable spaced multiple tooth cutter has 14 teeth providing 13 spaces between the teeth ranging from 0.46 mm to 2.58 mm. This spacing provides segment areas ranging from 0.21 square mm to 6.66 square mm.

Cutter Blades for Flat Surfaces - As general guide for coatings having a dry film thickness up to and including 2.0 mils (50 µm) space the cuts 1 mm apart and make eleven cuts (12603) unless otherwise agreed upon. For coatings having a dry film thickness between 2.0 mils (50 µm) and 5 mils (125 µm), space the cuts 2 mm apart and make six cuts (12610) unless otherwise agreed upon. For coatings having a thickness greater than 5 mils (125 µm) space the cuts 5.0 mm apart and make 5 cuts (12633) unless otherwise agreed upon.

Radius Cutter Blades - Multi-tooth adhesion cutters available to date may be used only on material applied to a flat surface. There have been numerous requests, however, for adhesion cutters for use on such surfaces such as pipe. The uniform 1 mm six tooth cutter is now available for use on such surfaces where the radius of curvature is no less than 0.75 inches. This special cutter for materials applied to simple curved surfaces is produced from a modified standard multi-tooth cutter. The rake angle (the angle of the tooth tip to the back of the cutter) is accurately known. Therefore, by removing a portion of the front surface of the cutter, the tooth is shortened by a known amount. Since the shortening of the tooth is proportional to the thickness of cutter removed, the cutter may be produced to work on any given radius of curvature above a practical limit of 0.75 inches. The cutter for curved surfaces is mounted in the same size and style of hand as all other GARDCO multi-tooth adhesion cutters.
