Slitter angle adjustment
We have provided the following adjustment on our deluxe slitter sets for a higher quality-finished
product.
(At the time of publication the only type available)
The angle of the cut on the edge of the film is fully adjustable allowing the knife to plane the edge of the
film resulting in a minimized edge curl.
To adjust the blade angle,
1. Loosen the blade angle lock ½ turn.
2. Using the diagrams below as a guide, turn the top of the blade holder that protrudes from the top of
the slitter block.
3. Tighten the blade angle lock when the desired angle is archived.
In drawing A, the film is cut by the blade and pushed to both sides of the blade resulting in an edge curl on
the scrap and the finish piece.
In drawing B, the blade planes the edge of the film resulting in curl on the scrap only.
Changing Blades
These blades are extremely sharp and a high degree of care should be exercised while handling
them. It is a good Idea to change or sharpen the blades regularly as this has a direct affect on the quality of
the edge finish. We deliberately designed the slitters around an excellent and inexpensive blade (#11
exacto) rather than a proprietary blade so that that this would not be a cost issue with our customers.
1. Retract the blade holders from the film; bring the arm back and against the upper idler bar.
2. Make sure the blade angle lock is hand tight.
3. Turn the knurled area of the blade holder counter clockwise.
4. Remove and replace the dull blade.
5. Tighten the blade holder.
6. If necessary realign the blade angle.
