The blade slides through a precision machined slot in the base of the chassis, which stabilises it for better cutting.
It does that by holding the blade at the correct angle as it is pushed into the mountboard at the correct angle. This helps minimise 'hooking' at the start of a cut. There is an adjustable stop to set blade depth.
The cutting tip of the blade is not visible, but guide marks on the holder indicate start and stop positions for the cut.
Made in USA. Use Logan 270D mountcutter blades. Includes five blades.
Upgrades:
The #2000 slides alongside a guide rail and can become a #302 which hooks onto a guide rail by fitting the plastic guides, ref 6131.
The same guides can be fitted to the #4000, which then becomes a #702. The #302 and #702 cutters are only included in kits and are not available separately.
With the guides fitted, the #2000 and #4000 will also hook onto Keencut Safety Edges.
