CATRA I-100

The CATRA I-100 is designed for high volume knife sharpening businesses and large abattoirs.

A range of wheel dimensions are available to give cutting angles of 30° (Default), 40°, 50° and 60°. Custom angles also available: Contact us.

Wheels are also available in a range of CBN grits, including 76, 126 (Default), 151 and 181. The in case of CBN grit sizes, the smaller the number the finer the grade and surface finish of the knife.

Typically, chef knives and those used in the commercial kitchens will use a 30° tip angle for optimum slicing efficiency. However, blades that require a chopping action use 40° and above, as this is more appropriate for improving edge durability.

We offer a recoating service, as the grinding wheels for the I-100 can be recoated several times over. The normal turnaround time for a pair of wheels to be recoated is 3 weeks from receipt at CATRA.
