Keencut continues its design and product
development programme for 2009
For 2009 Keencut Ltd the English manufacturer of
wide format cutter bars has introduced a new 3.3
metre model, a new Javelin Xtra range and a new
Twist & Lift stand. Featuring distinctive gold end
frames and an additional 10cm cutting length on
each of the six models, the Javelin Xtra provides the
most compact and least expensive option when
new material sizes just exceed the original Javelin
cutting lengths.
The new Keencut Javelin Xtra and Javelin models
share the same prices and according to Keencut, the distinction
of being the only cutter bars in the world that are
adjusted by laser to a guaranteed straightness of
0.2 mm (1:15000) along their full length. Essential for
precisely cutting pop-ups and other connecting artwork,
the extreme accuracy is equivalent to the thickness of a
pencil over the length of a 105 metre football pitch.
For applications where the Javelin Xtra is used
independently, a pair of retracting Twist & Lift stands
are now included as standard at no extra cost.
The stands eliminate the need to store the cutter
bar when not in use by providing a safe and convenient
way of suspending it above the work surface
allowing materials to pass through without obstruction.
For permanent installations the optional surface
mounted Lift & Hold systems provide a rigid locator
and a more advanced and economical alternative, while the
Keencut Big Bench creates a complete cutting work-station.
As befits a precision instrument all Keencut cutter bars up
to five metres cutting length are packed and transported in
purpose built wooden boxes that can be used for safe storage for
the life of the machine.
Keencut Limited have also launched a new Textile Cutter that
will attach to all past and current models of the popular Javelin, Practik,
Max and Sabre cutter bars. Designed to cut strong thin flexible
Range of cutter bars.

materials such as flag, foil and even traditional woven papers that
are difficult to cut with a utility blade the Textile Cutter cuts cleanly
and precisely using an inexpensive razor sharp circular blade.
Owing to the rolling action of the blade with the guaranteed
straightness and firm clamping of the cutter bars with their silicon
grip strips, Keencut says that there is no other manual cutting
method for textile that offers such a clean and straight cut up to 5
metres in length.
