Evolution3™ SmartFold Cutter Bar

Single-handed, fast accurate alignment

Two unique features enable single-handed, fast and accurate alignment of all materials irrespective of thickness. The Lift-and-Hover system enables the clamping bar to be easily raised and then lowered so it hovers just above the material surface. The anti-sag mechanism means the cutter bar can be suspended exactly parallel to the media surface over the whole length of the cut with zero sag, even on the longest sized cutter.

Guaranteed accuracy

The Evolution3 is the most accurate cutter of its type on the market and is guaranteed to cut within 0.2mm (0.008″) of a straight line for the full length of the cut. The in-built ultra-high precision accuracy, combined with the perfect alignment made possible using the sightline strip, means every butt-jointed panel will join seamlessly. This ultra-high precision accuracy will save you time and money with less waste and fewer mistakes.

Total stability

The self-adjusting track roller system fitted to the QuikSwap tool heads provides a strong and smooth movement up and down the length of the cutter bar, with zero sideways movement to ensure a perfect straight line. This, coupled with rigid blade clamping, gives perfect blade control and spot-on accuracy, so less wastage and mistakes.

Simple to use

The combination of the Lift-and-Hover and the sightline strip really does make cutting easier and faster than ever before. Even first-time users will be able to cut accurately with confidence.

Heavy duty reliability

The entire Evolution3 range has been built to last, using high quality materials and well tested engineering principles. The cutting head bearing system and clamping are tough enough to keep perfect blade control, even with the most difficult of materials. Keencut makes the majority of components on its precision CNC machines, keeping tolerances and quality under constant control, assuring exceptional accuracy and total reliability.

QuikSwap Double Graphik tool head

The Evolution3 Double Graphik tool head comes as standard and has 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 vinyl, banner, cardboard, PVC foamboard up to 13mm (1/2″), foam-centred board, corrugated plastic, paper, pop-up and roll-up materials.

Cutting strip included

The SmartFold includes an integral polymer cutting strip for use with the Evolution3 Fabric tool head to cut textiles and fragile materials. 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. There is no need for a separate cutting mat.

Clear bench

Within a few seconds, you can fold the SmartFold down to clear your bench for other work and then simply flip it back up ready for action.

Five year guarantee

Like all Keencut machines, the Evolution3 is precision built using top quality materials. All components are manufactured in-house to ensure quality and all Evolution3 cutters come with a five year comprehensive guarantee.
