Zünd Gliding Shoes (Glide Disc Knife Cover + Spring) – Replacement Parts
Product Overview：
Zünd Gliding Shoes, also known as glide discs or knife covers with spring, are essential replacement components used in Zünd digital cutting systems.
They are mounted around the cutting knife or tool head and provide a smooth, low-friction contact surface, ensuring stable and precise cutting across a wide range of materials.
Manufactured from high-performance Teflon (PTFE) or equivalent low-friction materials, these gliding shoes significantly improve cutting quality, tool stability, and blade life.
Function & Benefits：
The primary role of a Zünd gliding shoe is to support the cutting tool during operation by:
Maintaining consistent cutting depth
Preventing material lifting or tearing
Reducing tool vibration
Protecting both the knife blade and material surface
Ensuring smooth gliding over uneven or flexible materials
The integrated spring mechanism applies controlled pressure, allowing the tool to adapt automatically to different material thicknesses.
