Wanted: Keencut matboard support arms

Post by Jamesnkr »

Slim hope, but does anybody have a set not doing anything that they'd like to see the back of? Thanks (or, indeed, are they a waste of time?)

Hi, personnaly I see them as a waste of money, I joined a couple of lengths of square moulding together and added a mount board top to them and use them, also more manoverable for big mounts. Used to just use a couple of stacks of catalogues!

I never used them and did not ever have a problem.

I suppose they would be useful if you only have a small desk and need the mount board to hang over the edge, or am I talking out me arris?

Just noticed these are only £42 how much cheeper are you hoping to get these?

£50.40 cheaper (including VAT), by not buying them if they're useless!

My Keencut sits on an island unit in my kitchen when in use. Island unit about 6' long (so just fits the cutter) by 600mm wide - i.e. single width of worktop. My main thought was that the arms should be more like 36" than 24".

This was a hope of getting then for nowt then.

I would say they would be very useful to you with the set up you have, yes they could be longer though.

Nah, I'm not a charity I was offering hard cash! Anyway, just off to Lion, so stock permitting they'll be mine by this afternoon.

Tried them this morning. What they show mostly is that my measuring arm sags a bit. Otherwise, I think they help.
