Waltons Guillotine Blades

Waltons Guillotine Blades Manufactured in the UK and Shipped Worldwide

Sheffield Gauge Plate are proud suppliers and manufacturers of a vast range of steel products, including Waltons guillotine blades. Our expert team have been in the steel industry for over 40 years, which means we have the knowledge and experience to help keep your machinery in prime condition.

In the steelworking sector, your machinery is a considerable investment, and proper maintenance is required to prolong its lifespan, maximise accuracy and efficiency, and keep downtime to a minimum. Unfortunately, regular usage will cause guillotine blades to become dull over time, and while sharpening them is a valid option, it’s not a permanent solution. 

Regularly replacing the guillotine blades in your Walton’s machinery will prolong their lifespan and keep your daily operations running without a hitch. We stock guillotine blades for Walton’s machines in five sizes and can make them to order should you require different dimensions.

Walton’s Hydraulic Guillotine Shears

Waltons have been a well-known name across the metalworking industry for years. But, sadly, back in 2009, Waltons of Radcliffe stopped trading, leaving hundreds of machines still in use worldwide without the essential maintenance and replacements they require.

Waltons machines can be incredibly expensive, but we believe there’s no reason to get rid of them simply because the manufacturing business closed! Instead, through simple and regular maintenance (like replacing your guillotine blades), your Walton-branded machinery can continue to perform its designated task for years to come. 

How often do Waltons guillotine blades need replacing?

The amount of time it takes for the guillotine blades in your Walton’s machine ultimately depends upon the materials you’re cutting through and how regularly you’re using it. Of course, the more frequently you use the blades, the duller its edge will become until it’s so blunt it needs replacing altogether.

With metalworking being the primary use of most Walton machines, your guillotine blades will obviously blunt faster than they would if you cut a softer material. 

Sheet metals are also available in various thicknesses, plus their hardness values differ too; both of these are significant factors that will affect how long your guillotine blades stay sharp for. 

It’s challenging to place a time frame on how long it takes for Walton’s guillotine blades to become dull. So instead, it’s best to look out for signs of wear to tell you when you need to replace them; the quality of cuts will be reduced and may take longer, plus your blades may fail to completely cut through an intended material.

If you’ve noticed signs like these with your Walton’s guillotine machines, then we highly recommend ordering new replacement blades from Sheffield Gauge Plate. Looking for more information? Why not visit our helpful article, Replacing your Guillotine Blades, to learn more!

Can Walton’s guillotine blades be sharpened?

Yes, absolutely! All guillotine blades, regardless of brand, can be sharpened using our professional Guillotine Blade Sharpening Service designed to keep your investments running for longer.

Most guillotine blades can be sharpened multiple times within their lifetime, but it is worth remembering it is only a temporary fix. Eventually, sharpening will no longer be enough to get your guillotine blades back in working order. Instead, you will need to replace the blades in your Walton’s machine completely to continue using it as intended.
