Shear, Sheeter and Granulator Blades
Fernite blades are manufactured in quality tool steels selected and tempered to meet the specific application, wear or shock resistance, cold or hot shearing. Illustrated are blades with mechanically secured tungsten carbide inserts which are used to cut silicon iron sheet and strip.

Shims, Leaf Springs, and Special Feeler Guages
Fernite special products are manufactured from steel strip employing laser cutting or precision presswork. Our associated stockholding operation holds an extensive range of sizes and qualities which, combined with our manufacturing facilities, enable us to offer a prompt and competitive service.
