Re: Keencut Ultimat Futura Advice

I have a slightly different problem with mine, the long scale is perfect but the top scale with finger is in the wrong position, there isn't enough adjustment before the spring is coil bound to make it right, so if you are cutting a 50mm mount you have to do 50 50 52. I also have a Ultimat Gold wit...

Re: Keencut Ultimat Futura Advice

Just a note to let you all know the printers are making a number of calibrated sample scales, we should receive them tomorrow Thursday and once we have checked them we will ship out replacements to those that have requested them. Thanks for your patience Thanks for your time on the phone earlier Zac.

Re: Keencut Ultimat Futura Advice

Firstly, apologies to those you that have the inaccurate scales. When we receive the scales in from the printer all the scales and stickers are printed on one sheet and we use a 600mm long digital caliper to measure any discrepancies, over that length we have a tolerance of + or - 0.5mm so we should...

Re: Keencut Framing Masterclass

Thanks for the feedback, it's good to know you are finding them interesting and useful. Allan, We are in the process of making short video clips on all sorts of things and we will get one sorted on changing the glass cutting wheel. It is a straight forward process but there are a couple of things th...

Re: Cutting dibond

Tim, the System 4000 is over 20 years old now and we have no parts for it. Secondly the bearing system and plate that holds the cutting wheels are not man enough for it. The plate that holds the cutting wheels is 10mm thick on the current machine and only 3mm on the S4000. We don't have a machine to...

Re: What's next equipment wise?

Here are a few bullet points to consider about wall cutters: The System 4000 is 20+ years old now and although blades are still available there are no spare parts left for them now. The Excalibur 5000 has been around for 20 years or so now but is still current and all spare parts still available. Th...

Re: Cutting dibond

Dibond or ACP (Aluminium Composite Panel) is made by a whole host of manufacturers and their behaviour when cutting can vary. This material is used widely in the sign and construction industries and comes in a number of colours/finishes. It can be cut in a number of ways each with its pros and cons....

Re: Oil on blades

There are two sizes of 'Stanley' type or 'Utility' blade the Medium Duty and the thicker longer Heavy Duty blade, the SteelTrak and Javelin both use the MD blade as you obviously know. However, we do have a superior quality MD blade we call the KEENCUT 080 blade and it was originally designed for mo...

Re: Fletcher 3100 wanted

^^^ as well as to try using the fabric rotary blade for cutting some of the Baryta Rag papers we churn through. We do have a rotary blade attachment that fits on the old Javelin style head if that is any help. You would need to use it on a cutting mat. If it is any interest the details are here htt...

Re: Not happy with new Keencut blades

Our blades are still made at the same specialist UK manufacturer that they have been for nearly 30 years, during that time we have made two changes, the first which was more than 10 years ago which was to go from a standard 1.0% carbon steel that many blades are made from to a 1.25% carbon surgical ...

Hi Mark, Sorry you feel put on the spot that was not my intention, I was just interested in your comments and curious to know what of our machines you were comparing to the current FT 3100. You mention the Excalibur 4000, I think you must mean System 4000 and yes we had supply issues on the white ty...

Re: Fletcher 3100 wanted

It's only a personal opinion, but for me the Fletcher Terry is better engineered that the Keencut flat material cutter and the sliding bearing on the Fletcher Terry are self adjusting, so no periodical adjustment needed. The Keencut machines have a rotating cutting head with a bearing in it which d...
