Unknown object during a sort out!

Post by Frangipaniframer »

Hi Forum!

We’re having a bit of a clear up and also trying to fix one of our machines. We’ve come across this object, the boss can’t remember what it’s for! Any ideas welcome :lol:

That is a toggle clamp and I think it is likely to belong to a Keencut wall mounted Glass and flat material cutter!

Thanks you! :) we thought so but couldn’t figure out where it slides into.

It slides into the lower front edge of the horizonal rail on which you side glass or flat materials in to the machine. It looks like the one used on the System 4000. I don't know if it is also the same for the excaliber cutters.
