This is a cutting knife of the machine. JUKI includes it in its parts kit for the JUKI APW-895(N) and APW-896(N).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnives cut the thread, trim the fabric edge on overlock and similar machines, or cut the slit of a buttonhole. They work as a pair: a moving knife against a fixed (counter) knife, an upper knife against a lower knife on an overlock machine, or a buttonhole knife against its cutting block. The cut is clean only when both edges are sharp and meet with light pressure, so knives are regular wear items. On an overlock machine the lower knife is the fixed blade that the moving upper knife shears against.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJUKI part number: \u003cstrong\u003e40025646\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart name: Lower Knife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Knives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuantity in the JUKI kit \u003ca href=\"\/products\/spare-parts-kit?variant=45911281270949\"\u003e40181178\u003c\/a\u003e (APW-895(N) and APW-896(N)): 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFits these JUKI machines\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJUKI's parts kit sheets list part 40025646 for: JUKI APW-895(N) and APW-896(N).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe machine names are written the way JUKI writes them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen to replace it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThreads are not cut cleanly or are left hanging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe fabric edge frays or is cut unevenly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThere are chips or nicks along the cutting edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you replace one knife, check the partner (the fixed or lower knife, or the cutting block on a buttonhole machine). If its edge is chipped, rounded or burred, replace both. Set the knife pressure and timing as the JUKI Engineer's Manual for your model describes. Knife edges are very sharp, so handle them with care. Switch the machine off and unplug it before you start, and turn the handwheel by hand through a full stitch before the first run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChoosing the right part\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnives are specific to the machine and its trimmer or overlock mechanism, and many are handed (left or right, upper or lower).

The moving (upper) knife usually wears first, but a new knife against a chipped or rounded partner cuts poorly and wears faster.
