The RAS PRIMEcut uses innovative swing beam technology instead of the traditional guillotine concept. The quick blade clearance adjustment guarantees clean and square cuts. The upper blade penetrates the material above the lower blade and delivers right-angled and burr-free parts. The tilting motion of the swing beam eliminates parts getting stuck between the lower blade and the backgauge. The extremely low rake angle of less than 1.0 degrees assures twist free cuts even at about 15 x material thickness! Special blades are ideal for mild steel as well as stainless steel applications.
