M&R - Blade Shapers

squeegee blade shapers for textile screen printing

BladeShapers are M&R's precision squeegee sharpeners, and they're available in three sizes: BladeShaper SC, BladeShaper MC, and BladeShaper LC. All employ virtually indestructible square-cut diamond wheels to sharpen all squeegee materials, including single and multiple durometer types. They're warranted for five years against diamond wear in normal use.

BladeShaper SC is M&R’s precision small-format manual sharpener for squeegee blades up to 51 cm (20”). Portable tabletop design makes BladeShaper SC easy to move, and its compact size allows it to fit almost anywhere in a screen printing shop. M&R’s manual small-format BladeShaper MC precisely sharpens squeegee blades up to 97 cm (38”). Portable tabletop design makes BladeShaper MC easy to move, and its compact size lets it fit almost anywhere. M&R’s freestanding, midsize, fully-automated BladeShaper LC precisely sharpens squeegee blades up to 95 cm (37”). It's perfect for busy screen printing shops because the operator does not need to remain with the machine during the squeegee sharpening process.
