..and how it helps
cut a perfect window aperture |
| Hook-on bevel cutter with
retractable blade for cutting the window |
|
Variable depth control,
start/stop indicator, comfortable grip that fits the
shape of the hand. Comes assembled for right handed
use but is fully reversible for left handed use.
The uniquely designed Longridge cutter means that the
blade glides through the mountboard without requiring
any real physical effort producing a clean, accurate
cut.
The design of the new Bevel Cutter can also be used to
cut V-groove decoration simply by adjusting the blade
depth. |
| Hook-on vertical cutter with
blade guard/parking rest. |
|
For cutting the mountboard sheet to size.
The vertical cutter should only be used when the Guide
Rail is fitted to the Base. |
| Packet of 5 blades (Ref L
030) |
|
Bevel and vertical cutters use the same
blade. Blades are reversible. |
| Base with specially treated
non-slip surface and facility for squaring the mountboard
sheet to size. |
|
The base holds the Guide Rail securely
in position, making work easy and comfortable to control.
The integral squaring facility on the base ensures that
mounts are cut square from the original mountboard sheet.
The channel in the Base accommodates the vertical cutter
blade when cutting the mountboard sheet to size. |
Non-slip Guide Rail with parallelogram
|
|
There are two end caps, profiled to make
it easy to lift the Rail on and off the Base: one end
cap has a round hole, one a slotted hole for easy location
onto the base pins. Two rubber strips in the underside
of the rail further prevent any twisting movement of
the mount.
The guide rail has two moveable cutter stops and one moveable mount stop. The
mount stop prevents the mount moving while the bevel edge window aperture is
cut. The two cutter stops are moved along the Guide Rail so that
the cutting positions are preset before the cut is made. They also
prevent over-cutting in the corners when cutting the window aperture.
Since the positions of the cutter stops are set prior to cutting the window aperture,
by simply turning the mount around means the stops are already in the correct
position for cutting the opposite side of the window. The combination of
the cutter stops and the mount stop make cutting several mounts of the same size
extremely quick and easy.
|
| Parallelogram |
|
The Parallelogram is designed to facilitate
the marking out and cutting of multiple mounts. The
integral calibrated scale is used to set the chosen border
width. The parallelogram is then ready to cut as many
similar mounts as required with speed and precision. |
| Marker Gauge with pencil for marking out
window borders |
|
150mm (6") scale with metric and
Imperial measurements. This makes marking out the border
more accurate and efficient than using a pencil and ruler. |
| Screwdriver |
|
For adjusting blade depth and mount stop
position |
| Retractable steel tape measure |
|
For measuring the mountboard sheet to
size. |
| Sprint Mats |
|
To achieve a crisp, clean bevel cut, the
mount must be supported. The ideal medium to provide
this is the SprintMat which guides the blade helping
to achieve a perfectly straight and crisp cut.
Failure to support the mount in this way is likely to result in a poorer quality,
ragged edged cut. |
| Instruction DVD |
|
This provides easy to follow audio visual
instructions on how to use your Longridge Mountcutting
System to produce professional quality single bevel edge
window mounts, as well as some advanced techniques and
V-grooving. In English, French, German, Italian and
Spanish. |

All Longridge Mount Cutters can be set for
either right or left handed use, however if both right and
left handed people will be using the same System, then we
recommend separate bevel cutters set for each type of use. Details
are given on the mount
cutting accessories page.
We recommend using a push action as it is safer.
However, if you prefer to use a pull action, then the blade
should be set for left handed use if you are right handed
(and right handed use if you are left handed). Take extra
care if using a pull action that the cutter is prevented
from causing injury at the end of the cut, especially with
the vertical cutter.
