Spring Hold Down
Lightweight materials can sometimes pull away from the frame during cutting operations, resulting in reduced material control and inconsistent cutting performance. The Spring Hold Down applies continuous pressure to help keep thin substrates positioned correctly throughout the cut.
This added support is especially beneficial when processing lightweight sign materials, display substrates, foam products, corrugated plastic, and other thin sheet goods.
