Pivoting Knife Insert Plate
Ideal for materials that cannot be processed efficiently with a circular saw, the Pivoting Knife Cutter provides a fast and reliable solution for cutting lightweight sheet goods without tearing, crushing, or damaging the material.
Using a standard OLFA® knife with snap-off blades, operators can quickly restore a sharp cutting edge and maintain consistent cutting performance throughout production.
Designed for convenience, the knife insert can be swapped with a SawTrax circular saw insert in seconds, allowing shops to transition quickly between cutting applications without interrupting workflow.
