IMPORTANT NOTE
The principle on which this type of slitting is based, depends on
the knife being able to displace the roll width being slit.
Materials which are too dense or have been wound too tightly may
be unsuitable to slit by this method.
Knife parameters are crucial in successful Single Knife Slitting
(Refer Knife Selection Section 4.8 in Manual)
In this case either the roll must be rewound to a lesser tension or
the material cut on a machine known as a slit/rewinder.
As widths being slit increase so must the secondary or back bevel
on the knife in order to balance the forces and achieve a straight
cut.
Failure to pay attention to choosing a knife with the correct bevel
will result in the knife chipping or in an extreme case shatter.
