Cutting Tool
Guillotine-quality cutting on your folding machine — single slitting, double-cutting, edge-trimming and kiss-cutting from one device, to a standard usually seen only on a paper guillotine.
Inline slitting, double-cutting, edge-trimming and kiss-cutting of folding-machine work — clean, accurate cuts the full length of the sheet.

The problem
The problem we solve
Inline slitting, trimming and cutting on a folding machine usually means living with poor OEM cutting wheels that tear rather than cut, blades that go blunt or snap mid-run, or sending the work out to be guillotined — adding cost, handling and delay to every job.
Why the OEM way fails
Why the standard factory method falls short
Razor-sharp slitting, double-cutting and edge-trimming that out-performs other rotary methods many times over — and cutting blades made to last up to five times longer than the versions other manufacturers offer.
How it works
How the Cutting Tool works
Cutting uses a Scissor-Action design with double-sided, hardened cutting bosses that self-sharpen during production — so the cut reaches the standard usually only seen on a paper guillotine, and stays there. A waste guide deflects trims smoothly and stops them wrapping around the machine.
What you get
Every Cutting Tool delivers
- Guillotine-quality cutting — slit, double-cut, edge-trim and kiss-cut from one device
- Scissor-Action, self-sharpening bosses for a cut that stays sharp
- Blades last up to five times longer than ordinary versions
- Clean waste handling — waste guide and gripper band keep trims clear
- Keeps cutting in house — no outsourcing or separate guillotine pass
Guillotine-quality single slitting — run the cutting boss against the flat side of the full cutting blade for a clean, straight slit.
Super-quality double-cutting — fit the special waste guide between the cutting bosses to deflect the centre trim smoothly and efficiently.
Perfectly straight, trouble-free edge-trimming — fit the blue waste-gripper band and the waste guide so trims clear cleanly and the edge stays even.
Kiss-cutting that penetrates only halfway through the sheet — set the shallow blade so it cuts the face stock and leaves the backing, for labels and peel-off work.
Blades that last and don't break — cutting blades last up to five times longer than other manufacturers' versions, and the hardened bosses self-sharpen during production.

What printers say
“Just a line to say we have done two jobs using the CP Applicator. Delighted! Saved 15 hours work on the Heidelberg cylinder between them, and it frees up a man.”
“We have just completed our second job with the Micro-Perforator and have already recovered the cost we paid for it. Now we can complete work quicker, with superior results than previously, and with a lot more control.”
