Ultimat Futura storage

Post by +Rafe+ »

Hi all,

Looking for any advice / experience with regards to storing an Ultimat Futura mount cutter. I am refurbishing my studio space and building a new bench. So far my mount cutter has hung off the side of the bench when not in use. However looking at using foldable arms/supports to create a shelf/lip that holds the cutter and then folds down when not in use. It will need to securely hold the cutter

Has anyone had any experience at attaching the base of the cutter to another substrate such as 18mm ply. I cannot see any obvious mounting points to use, anyone come up with any clever tricks?

just on the off chance ....

Many thanks

They used to do a wall attachment for the ultimate gold so you could use it vertically, this might work. I had one in my workshop that I got about ten years ago with my used cutter. I never once tried it so chucked it in the bin when having a bit of a clear up a few months back.

The futura has a slot on both sides of the base, it wouldn't be too hard to find a method of using the slots as a clamping points to bolt it down.
