The 84" Javelin Series 2 Cutter Bar from KeenCut is a 90" silver anodized aluminum baseboard with a track that has an adjustable bearing and slide system. On the baseboard, a cut groove runs the length of the track to accommodate various blade depths and avoid cutting into the baseboard. The ergonomically designed head comes with three different vertical cutting blade holders, each geared toward a variety of different materials.
The Graphik Blade Holder accepts blades that are designed to cut tougher materials, such as acrylic, corrugated cardboard, matboard, and material up to 0.5" thick. The Medium-Duty Blade Holder accepts standard utility blades for general-purpose cutting, and the Textile Blade Holder comes enclosed with the circular blade, which will cut and trim more delicate materials like paper and fabrics. KeenCut recommends using a cutting board under your material when using the Textile Blade Holder. The depth of the Graphik and utility blades can be adjusted, and the spring-loaded cutting head retracts when not in use.
The optional surface-mounted lift-and-hold system mounts to the top of a standard workbench. The Javelin 2 sits in-between the system, which enables you to lift and suspend the clamping bar while you load material into the cutter. The track clamps down and holds the material firmly in place because of the silicone rubber grips that follow the length under the track.
