Over-engineered for the most demanding production environments, the 142" Evolution3 SmartFold 360 Cutter by Keencut is a testament to innovation and quality. This high-performance cutter is a part of the Evolution3 range, renowned for its superior features, and comes with an integral cutting strip, making it ideal for textiles and fragile materials.
The SmartFold 360 Cutter is designed with convenience in mind. It can be folded down swiftly to free up workspace, and just as quickly returned to operational mode, ready for immediate use. The unique Lift-and-Hover technology, currently patent pending, allows for quick, single-handed, and precise alignment of any material, regardless of thickness.
The cutter's clamping bar can be lowered until it hovers just above the material surface, eliminating sag even on the longest 5.5m (216") length cutter. The sightline strip provides a clear view of where the cut will be made, ensuring accuracy and efficiency.
Two distinctive features of the SmartFold 360 Cutter are its Lift-and-Hover system and anti-sag mechanism. These features enable the clamping bar to be raised and lowered with ease, allowing it to hover just above the material surface. The cutter bar can be suspended parallel to the media surface over the entire length of the cut, ensuring zero sag even on the longest cutter.
The Evolution3 SmartFold 360 Cutter is the epitome of accuracy. It guarantees cuts within 0.2mm (0.008") of a straight line for the full length of the cut. The built-in ultra-high precision accuracy, combined with perfect alignment using the sightline strip, ensures seamless joining of every butt-jointed panel. This level of precision reduces waste and minimizes errors, saving both time and money.
The cutter's self-adjusting track roller system, fitted to the QuikSwap tool heads, provides a strong and smooth movement along the cutter bar, with zero sideways movement, ensuring a perfect straight line. This, combined with rigid blade clamping, provides excellent blade control and spot-on accuracy, reducing wastage and mistakes.
The Evolution3 SmartFold 360 Cutter is user-friendly and easy to operate. The combination of the Lift-and-Hover system and the sightline strip makes cutting faster and more accurate, even for first-time users.
Built for heavy-duty use, the entire Evolution3 range is constructed with high-quality materials and engineered to last. The cutting head bearing system and clamping are robust enough to maintain perfect blade control, even with the most challenging materials. Keencut manufactures the majority of components on its precision CNC machines, ensuring exceptional accuracy and total reliability.
The Evolution3 SmartFold 360 Cutter comes standard with a Double Graphik tool head, featuring two individual blade holders for two-way cutting. The blades are stronger and more stable than regular blades, making the Double Graphik tool ideal for cutting a variety of materials, including vinyl, banner, cardboard, PVC foamboard up to 13mm (1/2"), foam-centred board, corrugated plastic, paper, pop-up and roll-up materials.
The SmartFold 360 Cutter also includes an integral polymer cutting strip for use with the Evolution3 Fabric tool head, eliminating the need for a separate cutting mat. This feature makes it perfect for cutting textiles and fragile materials. With a simple push button at each end of the bar, the cutter can be set on any of four cut lines, extending the life of the strip.
In summary, the 142" Evolution3 SmartFold 360 Cutter is a durable, high-quality, and efficient tool designed for a wide range of cutting tasks. Its innovative features and user-friendly design make it a valuable addition to any office or crafting environment.
