30° Roland Cutting Plotter Blade | 2mm Carbide Knife

Roland cutting plotter blade with a 30° cutting angle is designed for vinyl and other cutting media up to 0.25 mm thick. The blade uses cemented carbide and fits compatible Roland-style blade holders with a 2 mm shaft.

What the listed dimensions mean

The shaft diameter is 2 mm and the overall blade length is 23 mm. These two measurements are important when checking whether the blade matches an existing holder. The listed offset is 0.25 mm. Before ordering or installing a replacement, compare the shaft diameter, blade length and offset with the specifications required by the holder and cutting equipment.

The maximum listed media thickness for this 30° model is 0.25 mm. That number describes the cutting-media limit stated for the blade on this page. It should be checked alongside the media specification and the equipment settings used for the job.

Available Roland blade angles

This cutting blade series is available in 30°, 45° and 60° options. This page covers the 30° option. The three angles are separate choices within the same series, so the required angle should be confirmed before purchase. If an existing blade is being replaced, use its marked angle or the equipment documentation as the reference.

The 30° blade keeps the same listed 2 mm shaft diameter, 23 mm total length and 0.25 mm offset described above. Matching all of these values is more reliable than choosing a replacement from the angle alone.

Cemented carbide composition

The blade material is listed as 89–90% tungsten carbide and 10–11% cobalt. This is the cemented-carbide composition provided in the original technical data. The specified hardness is 91.5 HRA, and the breaking-strength range is 4000–4200 N/mm².

These material figures help identify the blade grade and distinguish the specification from blades made with a different carbide-and-cobalt ratio. They are included here as technical reference values rather than a claim about results on every machine or material.

How to verify the correct blade

1. Confirm that a 30° blade is required.
2. Check that the media is within the stated 0.25 mm thickness limit.
3. Compare the required shaft diameter with the listed 2 mm diameter.
4. Confirm the 23 mm overall length and 0.25 mm offset.
5. Check that the holder is compatible with this Roland-style blade format.
6. Review the material, hardness and strength figures if a specific carbide grade is required.

Checking each specification reduces the chance of selecting a blade that has the correct angle but the wrong shaft, length or offset. Equipment and holder requirements should remain the final compatibility reference.

Package information

The stated package quantity is five blades per box. The package count is separate from the dimensional specification: each blade in the box follows the 30° angle, 2 mm diameter, 23 mm length and 0.25 mm offset values described on this page.

Blade offset reference

Roland DGA explains that the machine offset setting should match the blade offset. See the official Roland blade-offset guidance when checking the 0.25 mm offset listed for this blade against compatible equipment settings.

Technical summary

This 30° Roland cutting plotter blade is a 2 mm diameter, 23 mm long cemented-carbide blade with a 0.25 mm offset. It is listed for cutting media up to 0.25 mm thick and is supplied in boxes of five. The series also includes 45° and 60° blade-angle options. The Roland cutting plotter blade measurements should be compared with the holder and equipment requirements before use. Keep the angle, shaft, length and offset values together when checking compatibility.
