7574 Keencut Ultimat Futura 1500 Mount Cutter 62"

Keencut Ultimat Futura mountcutters take manual mount cutting to a new level of ultra-high accuracy, with fast operation on mountboard of every type and thickness

The Keencut Ultimat Futura cutting head glides on unique built-in self-aligning ball bearing rollers to deliver a smooth cutting action that is precise and produces no discernible friction under load. Even the thickest mountboard can be cut as maximum operator effort transmits through to the blade.

Interchangeable magnetic blade holders make changing blades for different cuts simple and fast. The ergonomically designed cutting head is comfortable for both left and right handed operators.

Precision Cutting Head

This is no discernible friction so gives easy cutting of mountboard up to 3.5mm and foamboard up to 5mm. It has been ergonomically designed for long periods of operation by both left- and right-handed users.

- The bevel cut takes any of the Keencut Tech rectangular blades. The straight cut takes the Keencut 080 utility-shape blade. The blade holders are magnetic and users can easily swap to other holders with different blade depth settings to cut different materials and thicknesses in seconds.

- Keencut Futura cuts bevels at 52.5°

- Each Keencut Futura comes complete with a starter pack of blades. It contains Tech D .012, 30 blades, Tech S .012 and Tech S .015, 15 of each. Plus 080 for straight cut, 20 blades

Cutting Head has Super Smooth Ball Bearings

Rolls on triple self-aligning ball bearing rollers gliding on twin steel tracks.

Unique ‘Micro-Stop’ Over/Under Cut Adjusters

On the ‘Start of cut’, ‘End of cut’ and ‘Margin guide’ stops users can dial out overcuts or undercuts.

Overcut, turn thumbscrew towards minus  (–)
Undercut, turn thumbscrew towards plus (+)

Sliding Start-of-Cut Finger
