The FELCO 2\/3 F-Tech is an advanced professional replacement bypass pruner blade featuring FELCO’s breakthrough regenerative anti-friction technology. Built with a metal matrix composite layer containing ultra-fine non-metallic particles, this blade delivers exceptional sliding efficiency and non-stick performance. Because the friction-reducing particles are embedded evenly throughout the entire thickness of the coating, its self-lubricating properties remain constant and regenerate as the blade wears, guaranteeing clean, effortless cuts over a long service life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOptimised for highly demanding commercial settings, this blade features an anthracite-black composite layer that significantly reduces friction drag. This reduction in cutting resistance lowers mechanical strain, which preserves battery runtimes in electronic tools and protects operators from repetitive motion injuries. The advanced engineering design minimises tissue tearing on dense green-wood, preserving cambium health and fostering faster, cleaner healing across industrial agricultural operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBest For:\u003c\/b\u003e Commercial viticulturists, orchardists, and professional landscape contractors who handle sap-heavy crops and demand maximum cutting smoothness, reduced mechanical drag, and excellent corrosion defence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRegenerative F-Tech Composite Technology:\u003c\/b\u003e Engineered with a premium metal matrix composite coating embedded with non-metallic micro-particles.

Precision Tool Maintenance:\u003c\/b\u003e While the F-Tech metal matrix composite layer features self-lubricating properties, you should still clean the blade face with a specialized resin remover after working with extremely sticky wood like pines or figs. When sharpening this composite blade, only sharpen the standard bevelled side of the edge using a fine diamond stone or ceramic steel. \n  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n  Never grind or hone the flat reverse face of the blade, as this can disrupt the tolerance between the blade and the counter-blade, which can result in ragged cuts. Store any spare blades inside their commercial packaging in a dry environment to avoid moisture build-up on the exposed steel mounting hole.\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Heiniger","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48608763445348,"sku":"2\/3F-Tech","price":33.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/6487\/0244\/files\/23F-Tech.png?v=1781879871","url":"https:\/\/www.greenhousepolytunnels.com.au\/products\/felco-2-3-f-tech-professional-replacement-blade-non-stick-composite-coating-high-carbon-steel-bypass-pruning-blade","provider":"Greenhouse \u0026 Polytunnels","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
