BLADES AND BLADE HOLDERS

The Sabre is fitted with a new concept in Cutter Bar design, the vertical action cutting
head. This enables robust blade support and a level of flexibility never seen on previous
cutters of this type.

The Sabre Cutter bar has been designed to cut a variety of boards to a thickness of
13mm (0.5”) using the special GRAPHIK D 017 blade (available through your distributor
or Keencut).

Consideration should be given to the toughness of the board being cut and the maximum
depth of cut. it is recommended that heavy materials such as PVC foamboard should
only be cut to a maximum of 6mm (0.25”) whereas, lighter materials like foam centred
board can be cut up to the full 13mm (0.5”).

A range of blade holders are available to fit the Sabre, including the optional Rotary blade
holder for cutting textiles and other flimsy materials. Please refer to the Keencut website
for up to date details on the others.
