Metal Magnet bushing
Knife-blade fitted into slots in the end section allows vertical adjustment of the blade
The ends of the side plates also serve as ergonomic operator hand grips when drawing down wet films
Two types of side plates available that provide large paint well:
Standard side plates are made from special clear anodized aluminum
Tefcrom side plates are Teflon coated for lowest coefficients of friction against any solid. They are non-reactive and are great for films cast on thin substrates as it helps prevent tearing by minimizing friction with the substrate
Two types of blades are available:
The standard blade is finely machined 400 series stainless steel
The Teflon blade is coated with a tough, durable PTFE film that provides excellent non-stick properties which makes for easy cleaning and good corrosion resistance. It also makes the blade more durable with exceptionally good abrasion resistance
Rare earth magnets hold blade firmly in place. (The 2" applicator does not utilize the rare earth magnets and only uses one non rotating spindle micrometer that is fixed to the blade via two set screws.)
