Description

Keencut Ultimat Futura builds on the unique versatility, advanced design and precision of the world leading Ultimat Gold to take manual Mount Cutting to an ultra-high level of accurate, fast operation on all modern mount board of every type and thickness. The Ultimat Futura Mount Cutter features an all-new cutting head with built-in self-aligning ball bearing rollers operating on twin steel tracks to deliver a sliding action that is smooth, precise and with no discernible friction under load. Maximum operator effort is transmitted to the blade to put the cutting of even 8ply mount board within the capability of every framer. Switchable magnetic blade holders on the Ultimat Futura make changing blades and holders for different depths of cut the simple, fast operation so necessary for the many different types of work that are processed in every busy framing workshop and the ergonomically designed cutting head is comfortable for left or right-handed operation.

Starting with the best and improving on it was a logical step and the winning features of the Ultimat Gold have been retained for the Futura including the roller 'lift and hold' system, patented micro-stops and uniquely designed baseplate to accept a range of readily available accessories. The new high performance slideway and head system has been designed in response to the latest and future mount board developments and will not only maintain but greatly increase the Keencut world leadership in manual mat cutter design.

Ease of Operation & Safety Features 

  • Spring loaded bevel and vertical blade holder featuring ball and thrust bearings for perfect alignment and superb blade control
  • Vertical blade may be locked in the up position for safety, locked down for convenience when cutting regular board or depressed progressively against a light spring to effortlessly cut through very thick board or multiple sheets with a number of passes
  • Unique patented micro stop adjusters fitted to the ‘start of cut,’ ‘end of cut’ and ‘margin guide’ stops allow you to dial out overcuts or undercuts in seconds
    • Excellent control stops have always been a feature of Keencut machines. Unique to the Ultimat Gold and Ultimat Futura the routine stop adjustments for different thicknesses of board are reduced to just two
    • The start and end of cut stops can be reset in seconds. Any overcut is eliminated by turning the stop thumbscrew towards minus. Any undercut is eliminated by turning the thumbscrew towards plus. Nothing could be more simple or precise
  • The unique spring loaded measuring stop slides with the cutting head
    • When the start-of-cut finger is depressed to make contact with the mat edge it precisely controls distance from the edge of the mat to the blade tip
    • When cutting mats large or small, square or rectangular the stop does not need to be reset
    • When set to zero the stop will precisely indicate the start and stop points of the blade when cutting multiple openings or special effects that have been laid out with pencil lines
  • The extra slim cutter bar is only 6.2cm (2.44”) wide with a full length gripper strip which makes cutting miniatures simple and tightly secures the largest mats with no hand pressure
    • Unlike other mat cutters it is not necessary to apply any pressure to the handle whilst the machine is in operation. This is due to the carefully balanced slideway which ensures even contact and clamping. No holding of the handle means both hands are free for easy operation of the machine. 
  • Unique roller ‘lift and hold’ system raises or lowers the cutter bar and frees both hands
    • Operates in one smooth and silent movement and when used as the alternative to the main handle reduces the already low lifting effort by two thirds for easy all day working
    • Frees both hands for mat handling and makes routine setting and working a pleasure
