CNC BLADES
Simmons offers cut-to-length CNC blades for oscillating machinery, welded CNC band blades for continuous band saws, and coils of CNC material for those looking to cut or weld their own blades. Simmons provides CNC blades in several edge types, including Knife, V-Tooth, V-Tooth Flat, and Micro-A.
Finding the “right” CNC blade depends on the needs of your foam-cutting operations. For example, if your blades are reaching the end of their useful lives too quickly, we recommend trying Simmons' DuraBand CNC blades. DuraBand CNC blades are made from specialized steel to increase the blades' durability and retain sharpened edges longer, thereby extending blade life.
You can check out our CNC edge-type recommendations based on your foam density below. We can also produce CNC blades with a Razorback edge.
Low-Density Foam
Knife | 24 TPI V-Tooth | 24 TPI V-Tooth Flat
Medium-Density Foam
18 TPI V-Tooth | 18 TPI V-Tooth Flat
High-Density Foam
Micro-A | 14 TPI V-Tooth | 14 TPI V-Tooth Flat
Recommended cutting applications for CNC blades:
- All foam types
- Insulation
Consistently delivering high-quality blades has been key to Simmons’ success throughout the years. As part of our reliable welds guarantee, if a Simmons blade breaks at the weld prematurely, just let us know and we’ll replace that blade for you.
We stand behind our workmanship, and even when we’re not at fault for blade issues, we frequently invest in analyzing the cause of the blade’s failure in order to educate our customers and help them correct the source of the issue in their facility.

As part of our CNC blade production process, Simmons offers an additional option to harden the cutting edge of the blade in order to extend overall blade life.

TPI refers to the number of teeth per inch along the edge of the blade. Less TPI makes for a more aggressive blade, while a higher TPI count will leave you with a progressively cleaner finish on the cut. V-Tooth CNC blades are available in 14, 18, and 24 TPI.
Flat Tooth blades are designed the same as V-Tooth blades. However, instead of coming to a point, each tooth ends in a razor-sharp flat edge. This actually increases the area of the blade’s cutting edge, allowing it to slice through foam more easily while reducing premature wear on the blade, and resulting in an exceptionally smooth finish. Flat Tooth CNC blades are available in 11, 14, 18, and 24 TPI.
Custom tooth configurations are also available upon request.
