dave_schneider Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 I was going to buy a new Rototrim but then I saw the Keencut Technic series. I have been using a Keencut mat cutter and have been very impressed. Anyone using the Keencut trimmer that would comment? It seems to be a well designed machine from the brochure and my experience with the mat cutter is that Keencut is a top notch outfit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_cook1 Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 Found their website at: http://www.keencut.com/index.htm Their products indeed look very good. Any idea about US dealerships or sources? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott_killian1 Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 Can't speak for the Keencut, but I own a Rototrim and it's the greatest thing since - uh, well - sliced bread. Works flawlessly every time. One the few pieces of equipment I own where I can make that statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpshiker Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 I have not used one of their cutters but was going to purchase a mat cutter. Was contacted by Ed O'Grady, who is a follower of this forum. Very helpful guy. For what it's worth, I think they sell lots of Keencut stuff including the cutters. Check their website and Ebay store.

alpshiker Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 By the way, I use a Rotatrim Eurocut trimmer and although it does it's job, I find it hard to make precise locating of the cutting line. It's also mechanically basic with it's plastic blade holder running along a square tube and tends to get noisy. Cutting harder or thicker material is possible but sometimes results in the cutting wheel going astray. But maybe they improved since mine was built some 10 years ago. Oh, and thanks again, Dave, for your recommendation of the Ultimat series! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dee_seegers Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 I have a rotatrim 30" model with twin guide bars and am very happy with it. I use it to trim prints, with and without dry mount tissue attached. I find it to be well made and accurate and I'm able to get repeatable results. dee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
