They feature smoothly gliding carriages and diamond or tungsten carbide blades that perform clean, symmetrical scrapes without splintering the reed's fibers.

• Guillotine and Tip Cutting Machines (Precision Guillotines): Designed to make the opening cut of the reed at a perfect 90-degree angle, ensuring a straight and clean tip before the final scraping.

• Gouging and Profiling Machines (Gouging Machines): Mechanical tools for processing natural wood cane (Arundo Donax) from 10-10.5 mm to the exact desired thickness (generally between 0.55 mm and 0.60 mm) prior to folding.

• Shaping Machines and Folding Mandrels: Machinery for shaping the exact sides of the reed (shaper machines) before tying it onto the staple.
