Thanks, yes I’ve tried Stanley knife and like you said it’s a little slow. I’m looking to mount paper and canvas to it, as a painting support so will be fairly low volume. I was just tempted by these when seen on eBay.

Hi, hoping for some advice please

What’s the best way to cut dibond?

I’ve seen Rotatrim Technical 54" A0 Rotary Trimmer, secondhand and also
KEENCUT LASER 400 48” PROFESSIONAL MOUNT CUTTER.

Are either of these good for the job? Thanks!!

Ok thanks, I'll do some research

Give Steve Goodall a ring at Wessex Oldham branch 0161 6812959, he usually knows what's out there in terms of Hotpresses.

Thank you, I'll do that!

All the best with your search

That sounds interesting, do you have a link for the process and is it archival? Thanks

Hi all, new to forum and hoping for advice. I am interested in buying a secondhand hot vacuum press, I have seen one for sale - Lamina Framers Corner 2000 hot press, but can't find out much info about it online. Is it worth buying secondhand or can you point me in the right direction of alternative ...
