The Evolution3 SmartFold is a cutting tool designed to meet the demands of busy production facilities. It comes with all the superior features of the Evolution3 range, including an integral cutting strip for textiles and fragile materials. The SmartFold can be quickly folded down to clear bench space and then returned in seconds to be immediately ready for use.
The SmartFold features Keencut's unique Lift-and-Hover technology, which allows for fast, single-handed, and accurate alignment of materials, regardless of thickness. The clamping bar is lowered until it hovers just above the material surface with zero sag, even on the longest 3.6m cutter. The sightline strip is used to see where the cut will be made, and then the clamp is fully engaged and cut, making it easy and efficient.
The SmartFold also includes an integral polymer cutting strip for use with the Evolution3 Fabric tool head. A simple push button at each end of the bar allows the cutter to be set on any of four cut lines, extending the life of the strip. The Evolution3 range is built to last, using high-quality materials and tested engineering principles. The cutting head bearing system and clamping are tough enough to maintain perfect blade control, even with difficult materials. Most components are manufactured in-house on precision CNC machines to ensure exceptional accuracy and total reliability.
The Evolution3 range is the most accurate cutter of its type on the market, with a guarantee to cut within 0.2mm of a straight line for the full length of the cut. The Lift-and-Hover and the sightline strip make cutting easier and faster than ever before, even for first-time users. With ultra-high precision accuracy, every butt-jointed panel will join seamlessly, saving time, money, and reducing waste and mistakes. The Evolution3 SmartFold is the perfect solution for busy production facilities that demand precision, speed, and reliability.
